If someone were to compile a list of the greatest mathematical equations ever, you'd see a lot of different equations. Some would say that all equations are beautiful and great. And there will be some top contenders like Euler's identity, and Einstein's extremely popular . But today you'll see the greatest equation ever. They are actually a pair of parametric equations that look like this:

What is so special about these equations, you say? Well, when plotted, the equations look like this:

Whether you're a fan of Poke'mon or math [or both], you should enjoy this! This is easily the greatest thing I discovered while fiddling around with Woframalpha. Here are a couple of more equations plotted. I'm not adding the equations. That would take up a lot of space.

Alt text Charmander
If you have a lot of time to spare, you can go through all of them here. There are over of them.
And you don't have to be restricted to Poke'mon. For example, here's Batman:

Great! I have a question that how did you copy those parametric equations (but it's in latex) or is it just an image?

I also have same question to Mursalin Habib

What do you think?
Fortunately, I didn't type out the whole equation because that would have taken me half an hour [give or take] at least. It's an image. If you hover your mouse cursor over the image, you can see the alt text, "When will this end?". This was a reference to how big the equations are.

How did you find that link?

I THINK YOU COPIED THIS EQATION FROM WOFRAMALPHA.............IAM RIGHT.......................

Is there someone that sits down trying out hundreds of combinations of equations to get the right one or do you doodle on a software and it spits out an equation?

I made this happy discovery a while back see

Where did you get these parametric equations from?
Log in to reply
Search up _ curve or __ equation to see if there exist a parametric equation of what you want. Do this on Wolfram Alpha

Here's another one.

How much time did you take to write the equation???
Log in to reply
Fortunately, it didn't take more than a minute. That's because I didn't type it out. It's an image.

I discovered Dilbert on WolframAlpha recently and put some fun curve links here http://colleenyoung.wordpress.com/wolframalpha/darth-vadar/
suddenly I can't see how to enter a link - something I know i have done before!
