Cliff, I'm never quite sure where I'm going! I'm wallowing around somewhere
between 4th and 5th grade and trying to make students understand big ideas.
So: Here is my "Slinky"
load 'plot'
do=: 13 :'({.y)+(i.{:>:y)*(--/}:y)%{:y'
t=:do 0 10 1000
sin=:1&o.
cos=:2&o.
'pensize 2;aspect 1'plot (sin t);cos t NB. TWO poolar circles 'pensize
2;aspect 1'plot t;(sin t);cos t NB. Slinky from two circles over time
If I have a Fibonacci sequence (as simple as possible) then I should be able
to make a "Golden Spiral" in 2-D. But if I could start with a 1 inch cube,
could I turn my slinky into a "Snail Shell Spiral"
I have found the forum to be the most fun when a problem hatches and
develops with ideas from everywhere.
A short take on where I think I may be headed. Now I'll look at what you
sent. Cheers. Linda
