Rhonda's Wriggles Around a Circle:

This space curve was produced using the following Maple
commands:
> x:=t/13/Pi+1/3*sin(t^2);
> y:=(1+1/13*sin(t^2))*cos(t);
> z:=(1+1/13*cos(t^2))*sin(t);
t 2
x := 1/13 ---- + 1/3 sin(t )
Pi
2
y := (1 + 1/13 sin(t )) cos(t)
2
z := (1 + 1/13 cos(t )) sin(t)
> with(plots):
> spacecurve([x,y,z],t=0..3*Pi,numpoints=1000,
> axes='NORMAL',thickness=2,orientation=[-25,80]);
