Wiman's sextic explained

In mathematics, Wiman's sextic is a degree 6 plane curve with four nodes studied by .It is given by the equation (in homogeneous coordinates)

x6+y6+z6+(x2+y2+z2)(x4+y4+z4)=12x2y2z2

Its normalization is a genus 6 curve with automorphism group isomorphic to the symmetric group S5
