    An analytic map of a neighbourhood of \(0\) in a vector space to a Euclidean space that takes all germs of lines passing through \(0\) to germs of circles is called a rounding. The main result the author obtains is that any rounding is equivalent to some fractional quadratic rounding, i.e., a rounding of the form \(P/Q\), where \(P\) is a map given in coordinates by quadratic polynomials, and \(Q\) is a quadratic polynomial.
