# Three interesting curves

Here are three curves that have interesting names and interesting shapes. The fish curve The fish curve has parameterization x(t) = cos(t) – sin²(t)/√2 y(t) = cos(t) sin(t) We can plot this curve in Mathematica with ParametricPlot[ {Cos[t] - Sin[t]^2/Sqrt, Cos[t] Sin[t]}, {t, 0, 2 Pi}] to get the following. It’s interesting that the image […] The post Three interesting curves first appeared on John D. Cook....
