Circular design made by rotating circles about a fixed point. The radii of the smaller circles is equal to the distance between the point of rotation and the center of the circle. The circles meet in the center of the larger circle. The design is achieved by removing consecutive halves of the circles (semi-circles).

The magic circle of circles, first developed by Benjamin Franklin, consists of eight annular rings and a central circle, each ring being divided into eight cells by radii drawn from the centre; there are therefore 65 cells. The number 12 is placed in he center and the consecutive numbers 13 to 75 are placed in the other cells. The properties are: 1) sum of eight numbers in any ring with 2 equals 360, 2) sum of eight numbers in any set of radial rings with 12 is 360, 3) sum of numbers in any four adjoining cells is 180.

A secant is "a line which cuts a figure in any way. Specifically, in trigonometry, a line from the center of a circle through one extremity of an arc (whose secant it is said to be) to the tangent from the other extremity of the same arc; or the ratio of this line to the radius; the reciprocal of the cosine. The ratio of AB to AD is the secant of the angle A; and AB is the secant of the arc CD." —Whitney, 1889
