Lecture
Parametric Curves: Limaçon de Pascal
Description
This lecture introduces the Limaçon de Pascal, a parametric curve defined by a circle and a moving point. The lecture covers the definition of the Limaçon de Pascal, its parametrization, intersection points, symmetry properties, and derivatives. Through the study of its properties, the lecture explores how the Limaçon de Pascal is obtained through reflections and its behavior at specific angles.
