Nielsen's spiral

Nielsen's spiral

In mathematics, Nielsen's spiral, also called the sici spiral is the spiral with parametric equations:x = a,mbox{ci},t ,:y = a,mbox{si},t ,where "ci" is the cosine integral and "si" is the sine integral.

This curve is notable because its curvature increases at a constant rate along its length.
