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)
[edit] Area
The right side of the Area formula suggests that the Area is independent of k! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.36.95.125 (talk) 02:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
