Cochleoid
A cochleoid is a mathematical curve that resembles the shape of a snail shell. It is defined by a specific polar equation, which describes how the curve spirals outward as it rotates around a central point. The cochleoid is a type of spiral and is often studied in the field of geometry and calculus.
This curve has interesting properties and applications in various areas of mathematics, including differential geometry and complex analysis. The cochleoid can also be related to other curves, such as the Archimedean spiral and the logarithmic spiral, showcasing the diverse nature of spiral shapes in mathematics.
