Change "A" and "B" to alter values related to each equation. Change "Pen Size" to change the pen size. Press "R" to round down the values of A and B, and press "S" to see the shape rendered slowly
I was playing around with trigonometric equations when I found something interesting. The equation "y = arcsin(cos(x))" described a never-ending spike type of design (Try it yourself). I wondered what would happen if I put it into a circular pattern, and assigned two parameters. Which got me here. The two equations are: x(t) = arcsin(cos(a * t)) * sin(t) y(t) = arcsin(cos(b * t)) * cos(t) When A and B are the same, this can create roses (As they're mathematically described). And when A and B are whole numbers, you can get interesting patterns. Some of my favorite patterns for whole numbers A and B are: A = 20 B = 18 A = 19 B = 20 A = 10 B = 20 A = 19 B = 12
