Spiral

In mathematics, a spiral is a curve which turns around some central point or axis, getting progressively closer to or farther from it, depending on which way one follows the curve.

A two-dimensional spiral may be described using

polar coordinates by saying that the radius r is a continuous monotonic function of θ. The circle would be regarded as a degenerate case (the function not being strictly monotonic, but rather constant).


 

Curve: In mathematics, the concept of a curve tries to capture the intuitive idea of a geometrical one-dimensional and continuous object. Simple examples are the circle or the straight line. A large number of other curves have been studied in geometry....

Radius: :For other senses of this word, see radius (disambiguation)....
