Superformula

The superformula is a generalization of the superellipse and was proposed by Johan Gielis around 2000. Gielis suggested that the formula can be used to describe many complex shapes and curves that are found in nature. Gielis has filed a patent application related to the synthesis of patterns generated by the superformula, which expired effective 2020-05-10. In polar coordinates, with the radius and the angle, the superformula is: By choosing different values for the parameters and different shapes can be generated. The formula was obtained by generalizing the superellipse, named and popularized by Piet Hein, a Danish mathematician. (Wikipedia).

What Is A SuperEarth?

The Universe is always surprising us with how little we know about... the Universe. It's continuously presenting us with stuff we never imagined, or even thought possible. The search for extrasolar planets is a great example. Since we started, astronomers have turned up over a thousand

What are Supersets? | Set Theory, Subsets, Set Relations

What are supersets? We'll be going over the definition and examples of supersets in today's video set theory lesson! If B is a subset of A then A is a superset of B. The superset relation is the same as the subset relation but in the opposite direction! Remember if every element of B is

What is Supersymmetry?

In this video, Fermilab's Dr. Don Lincoln describes the principle of supersymmetry in an easy-to-understand way. A theory is supersymmetric if it treats forces and matter on an equal footing. While supersymmetry is an unproven idea, it is popular with particle physics researchers as a po
