The inverse curve of a sinusoidal spiral r=a^(1/n)[cos(nt)]^(1/n) with inversion center at the origin and inversion radius k is another sinusoidal spiral ...

The pedal curve of a sinusoidal spiral r=a[cos(nt)]^(1/n) with pedal point at the center is another sinusoidal spiral with polar equation r=a[cos(nt)]^(1+1/n). A few examples ...

The inverse curve of Fermat's spiral with the origin taken as the inversion center is the lituus.

The Atzema spiral, also known as the Pritch-Atzema spiral, is the curve whose catacaustic for a radiant point at the origin is a circle, as illustrated above. It has ...

There are no fewer than three distinct notions of curve throughout mathematics. In topology, a curve is a one-dimensional continuum (Charatonik and Prajs 2001). In algebraic ...

An Archimedean spiral is a spiral with polar equation r=atheta^(1/n), (1) where r is the radial distance, theta is the polar angle, and n is a constant which determines how ...

The Doppler spiral is the curve obtained from an Archimedes' spiral which is translated horizontally with speed k. It has parametric equations x(t) = a(tcost+kt) (1) y(t) = ...

The conical spiral with angular frequency a on a cone of height h and radius r is a space curve given by the parametric equations x = (h-z)/hrcos(az) (1) y = (h-z)/hrsin(az) ...

Archimedes' spiral is an Archimedean spiral with polar equation r=atheta. (1) This spiral was studied by Conon, and later by Archimedes in On Spirals about 225 BC. Archimedes ...

Successive points dividing a golden rectangle into squares lie on a logarithmic spiral (Wells 1991, p. 39; Livio 2002, p. 119) which is sometimes known as the golden spiral. ...
