The Story of The Rose 5

We divided the circle into 360 parts, degrees. Not natural. PI is natural. 2PI is natural. 360 is not. One unnatural parameter deserves another. Let us divide the circle into 359 parts instead. This gives us a new parameter which we will call s for subdivisions. Note that 359 is prime. What happens to our zero figures? What a difference a degree makes!

r = sin(90t) d=4 s=359 r = sin(181t) d=2 s=359 r = sin(91t) d=4 s=359
r = sin(121t) d=3 r = sin(72t) d=5 r = sin(73t) d=5

Minor differences make big changes.

But we can do cooler stuff than this! Click here to continue.
