About 260 years ago Alex Claude Clairaut [1] studied the following equation which is called the Clairaut equation now : y = x ^ -f /(^). It is usually taught in the first or second year course of calculus in the university and treated as one of the typical examples of non-linear equations that are easily solved. Moreover it has a quite beautiful geometric structure as follows : There exists a "general solution" that consists of lines y = t x Hf ( i ) , where t is a parameter and the singular solution is the envelope of such a family (Fig. 1).
