Summary
| Description |
The figure-eight knot of mathematical knot theory depicted in symmetric form. The curves were generated from the polar coordinates equation r=b+sin(aθ), which is a slight generalization of the Limaçon and Rose/rhodonea curves, using parameters a=(2/3) and b=2. The same curve (with a different rotation about the origin) is generated by the following non-polar parametric equations: |
