Matthew's Squiggle:

This space curve was produced using the following Maple commands:

> x:=exp(t)/10*(5+cos(t))*cos(t);
> y:=exp(t)/10*(5+cos(t))*sin(t);
> z:=t+sin(12*t);

                 x := 1/10 exp(t) (5 + cos(t)) cos(t)


                 y := 1/10 exp(t) (5 + cos(t)) sin(t)


                          z := t + sin(12 t)

> with(plots):
> spacecurve([x,y,z],t=0..Pi,numpoints=1000,
>   axes='BOXED',scaling='CONSTRAINED',thickness=2);
