Animated trig equations in polar coordinates

Full Screen

One of the hardest things for me to visualize in my integral calculus class was how graphing things in polar coordinates worked.

We weren’t allowed to or encouraged to use graphing calculators. So I built a little thing that will graph them in an annimated way and say between which major angles it’s currently graphing.

Right now it just does 0 to 2pi in radians but you could add or remove some or make a interval generator. Also you could make it so a user could enter in an equation to get graphed or automatically scale stuff or lots of stuff.

Maybe I’ll even try to make it better. Let me know if there’s anything you’d want to see.
