Lituus |
 | | According to Robert C. Yates 1952, the Lituus curve is studied by Roger Cotes in 1722. |
 | | Lituus is a spiral described by the polar equation r == 1/Sqrt[θ]. |
 | | That is, suppose P is a point on the curve, and X a point on the asymptote OP distance from the origin O. Suppose the area of the circular sector OPX is A. As P moves towards the center on the curve, the area remains the same. |
