Talk:Rose (mathematics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Illustrations would be super.

[edit] Lissajous

This seems to be quite comparable to Lissajous curves. --Abdull 18:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from/new Rhodonea article

I agree. I would have suggested/done the same myself if only I could have remembered the name of the Rose (mathematics) article. —David Eppstein 05:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Definitely agree. No reason to have two articles, especially as they are both so minimal. Doctormatt 16:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Agree with proposed merge. Gandalf61 17:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

I just noticed that while the article gives the rose in terms of cosine, the pictures are all for sine. Do we

• change the article to make sine the basic one (and relate cosine to it as a rotation)?
• change the pictures? (Sounds like a pain.)
• change the captions on the pictures to be more specific?

Ack. I'll change the images (the second one is okay). It'll be done in a few hours, probably. Cheers, Doctormatt 20:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I updated the seven petal image and added info to the "rose gallery" image to make it clear these are r=sin k \theta. I think this works. Cheers, Doctormatt 04:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
