Curves {higher curve} {higher plane curve} can have equations with degree greater than two. Defining degree-n curves requires n * (n + 3) / 2 points. Higher plane curves have inflection points, multiple points, cusps, conjugate points, genuses, and branches. One degree-m curve and one degree-n curve can intersect at m*n points.
