Polar Rose: Mathematical Flower
These flowers are constructed with polar rose functions, play with n and d to change the flower's shape. Download the .gx source to check out the polar function. A more user-oriented version that lets you change the color of the flower and download the image can be found here: http://celloexpressions.com/misc/make-flowers/.

Polar Proportional Point and Circle Puzzler 3
A circle is centered at the origin and its radius is defined by the distance between the origin and a point, P. P is defined by a polar function, u(t), and is located at the current value of t. Adjust t, or animate it by pressing ”go”. What is u(t)? Look at the .gx source for the answer. Hint: if you look closely, u(t) can be seen in dark gold. It is a particular ”polar flower”.
Polar Proportional Point and Circle Puzzler 2
A circle is centered at the origin and its radius is defined by the distance between the origin and a point, P. P is defined by a polar function, s(t), and is located at the current value of t. Adjust t, or animate it by pressing ”go”. What is s(t)? Look at the .gx source for the answer. Hint: if you look closely, s(t) can be seen in dark purple. It is a particular ”polar flower”.
