Parametric Curves
• In mathematics, a parametric equation of a curve is a representation of this curve through equations expressing the coordinates of the points of the curve as functions of a variable called a parameter.
• a curve is, generally speaking, an object similar to a line but which is not required to be straight
Parametric Function
Parametric equations are convenient for describing curves in higher-dimensional spaces. For example:
X = a \cos(t)
Y = a \sin(t)
Z = bt
describes a three-dimensional curve, the helix, which has a radius of a and rises by 2πb units per turns
