Flower-Like Polar Plots


	Changing the coefficient inside a polar plot of a simple sine function gives a wide range of flower-like patterns.

The idea for this Demonstration has been rediscovered many times. The first known discovery was in the 1720s, when Italian mathematician Guido Grandi called a class of polar equations "rhodonea" because they looked like flowers. The objects in this Demonstration are often now called "roses."
