This video tutorial by Kirk Weiler covers the equations of circles in geometry. It begins with a review of line equations to set the foundation for understanding circle equations. The tutorial explains the basic equation of a circle centered at the origin and provides examples to illustrate the concept. It then explores circles not centered at the origin, deriving the general equation of a circle. The video concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.

What is not an equation of a circle?
