Happy Valentine's Day!! I'll have to graph that myself to see the heart form myself...

Re: Happy Valentine's

Haha, very nice. How come you've plotted a Polar graph on Cartesian co-ordinates though?


Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Ask the designers of the graphing calculator! tongue

This is just one of a whole mess of heart equations I designed a while back. You might recall this thread: http://www.mathsisfun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3872

(edit) I just modified the equation and graph a bit. Doesn't get much better than that I'd say!

So do any of us math nerds actually have any valentines? sad

Re: Happy Valentine's

Ah, that thread must have been made while my internet was broken, making me miss it. Until now, that is. I like how you can change some parameters to get all kinds of different heart shapes. Now you need to figure out how to make them 3D! big_smile


According to one of my lecturers, the equation for love can be found as follows:
"Love" pronounced slightly differently becomes "'l'oeuf" (possibly misspelt)
This is French for "The egg."
Eggs are elliptical in shape.

Therefore, the equation for love is x²/a² + y²/b² = 1.

Re: Happy Valentine's

Ahhh... Valentines and speaking French ...

Husband, trying to be romantic, says "Je t'adore".

Wife responds "Shut the darn door yourself"

I like the ring of that.  Mikau's cardioid.

Re: Happy Valentine's

I made a whole thread on it in case you didn't see. I might also make a thread on designing shapes using polar equations. I managed to develop some pretty usefull techniques.

Re: Happy Valentine's

'Bombones' means 'chocolates'.

Also, brazilian isn't a language. O.o

Perhaps you mean portuguese?

Although I was speaking Spanish.

No habla español?

But this topic isn't about Spanish.

I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is not very special to me as I do not celebrate it and it is a normal day for me.

Re: Happy Valentine's

I don't celebrate it formally, but heck I see no reason to to ignore it.

It usually depresses me because I never have a valentine. sad

At our school library the librarians were giving a chocolate to everyone who borrowed a book. It was a very tasty day.

Yes, I agree! Our form teacher gave us all strawberry Freddos ... and we had a Valentine's Day 'party' in Ethics. It was more like an excuse to eat food during class, but it was still good. We got to eat cake while watching 'School Ties' ...
