Butterfly curve (transcendental) — [ curve (click for larger image).] The butterfly curve is a transcendental plane curve discovered by Temple H. Fay. The curve is given by the parametric equations::x = sin(t) left(e^{cos(t)} 2cos(4t) sin^5left({t over 12} ight) ight):y = cos(t)… … Wikipedia
Butterfly curve (algebraic) — In mathematics, the algebraic butterfly curve is a plane algebraic curve of degree six, given by the equation :x^6 + y^6 = x^2. The butterfly curve has a single singularity with delta invariant three, which means it is a curve of genus seven. The … Wikipedia
