Ex 2.1 Curves

Functional Differential Geometry

.

a. The rectangular coordinate equation for the Lemniscate of Bernoulli is

$\displaystyle{(x^2 + y^2)^2 = 2 a^2 (x^2 - y^2)}$.

Find the expression in polar coordinates.

b. Describe a helix space curve in both rectangular and cylindrical coordinates.
