Swastika curve
The swastika curve is the name given by Cundy and Rollett[1] to a type of quartic plane curve.
Equations
The quartic plane curve with the Cartesian equation
or, equivalently, the polar equation
The curve looks similar to the right-handed swastika. It can be inverted with respect to a unit circle to resemble a left-handed swastika. The Cartesian equation then becomes
gollark: No.
gollark: `thing < file` is equivalent to `cat file | thing`.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: `mcdex` can already kind of install from manifests; it just doesn't let you directly without a slightly annoying step.
gollark: I mostly use bash when it's just "run some shell commands and interpolate a variable or two", and otherwise python.
