Ed's Spacecurve Sphere:

This space curve was produced using the following Maple commands:

> x:=cos(t/rho)*cos(t);
> y:=cos(t/rho)*sin(t);
> z:=sin(t/rho);
> rho:=30;

                                   t
                         x := cos(---) cos(t)
                                  rho


                                   t
                         y := cos(---) sin(t)
                                  rho


                                      t
                            z := sin(---)
                                     rho


                              rho := 30
