Epicycloid To obtain an epicycloid with n number of cusps, let r2 = r1/n the outer limit of the graph ist r1+2xr2 in order to calculate the number of turns until the pattern of the graph repeats itself: reduce the fraction of r1/r2 to lowest terms. i.e. find the greatest common divisor and divide r1 and r2 by it. Then, r2 ist the number of turns. Web: http://xahlee.org/SpecialPlaneCurves_dir/EpiHypocycloid_dir/epiHypocycloid.html

very cool
r1=11 r2=50 is awsome!
it looks sooooooooooooooo amazing
r1=17 r2=3 is cool
Great link! http://xahlee.org/SpecialPlaneCurves_dir/EpiHypocycloid_dir/epiHypocycloid.html Can you add support for fractions so we can try to make the shapes? Maybe adding two more variables, for nominators and denominators?
Math is beautiful. Who knew!
Will you join my gallery and put all of your project in my gallery?
I love it for real dude.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllll!
uh wut!
