# The Greatest Equation Ever...Sort Of...

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, $$e^{i\pi} +1=0$$ and Einstein's extremely popular $$E=mc^2$$. 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.

If you have a lot of time to spare, you can go through all of them here. There are over $$700$$ 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? · 3 years ago

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. · 3 years ago

I also have same question to Mursalin Habib · 3 years ago

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? · 2 years ago

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! · 2 years, 11 months ago

nice work · 3 years ago

Wow, nice one! :) I like the PSY one by Pranav A. and the Batman! :) Really cool · 3 years ago

How much time did you take to write the equation??? · 3 years ago

Fortunately, it didn't take more than a minute. That's because I didn't type it out. It's an image. · 3 years ago

Here's another one. · 3 years ago

Where did you get these parametric equations from? · 3 years ago
