Ok... so today in Calculus 2 we learned how to do parametric equations. They're actually really easy and kind of mostly just algebra and then you can do calculus things to them, but it was cool.
But what made me smile was when he gave us an equation, and said "put this in your calculator."
And then it graphed in this funky curve, and it was amusing. i might find a picture later to show you guys.

what was the equation?
I wanna try it... :)
x=1.5sin(t)-sin(30t)
y=1.5cos(t)-cos(30t)
and then you can play around with it.
if you know what you're doing, you can get all kinds of cool shapes. i searched the web, and saw one that looked like a butterfly, no joke!
