Four Space Curves
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
Some space curves can be defined by a parametric representation 
, 
, 
, where 
takes values within the interval 
. This Demonstration shows the parametric equations of the circle, the spiral of Archimedes, the helix, and the conical spiral, and then plots them.
