The Love Formula : How to Draw a Heart Shaped Curvy Graph





the-formula-to-love

Ever wanted to know how to draw a heart shaped graph?
Is that real? well yes.
There are a number of mathematical curves that produced heart shapes, some of which are illustrated below.


HeartCurves_801



The first curve is a rotated cardioid (whose name means "heart-shaped") given by the polar equation

(1)
The second is obtained by taking the .com/blogger_img_proxy/ cross section of the heart surface and relabeling the .com/blogger_img_proxy/-coordinates as .com/blogger_img_proxy/, giving the order-6algebraic equation

(2)
The third curve is given by the parametric equations
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(3)
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(4)
where .com/blogger_img_proxy/ (H. Dascanio, pers. comm., June 21, 2003). The fourth curve is given by
.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(5)
(P. Kuriscak, pers. comm., Feb. 12, 2006). Each half of this heart curve is a portion of an algebraic curve of order 6. And the fifth curve is the polar curve

(6)
due to an anonymous source and obtained from the log files of Wolfram|Alpha in early February 2010.



HeartCurve5_1000


Each half of this heart curve is a portion of an algebraic curve of order 12, so the entire curve is a portion of an algebraic curve of order 24.
A sixth heart curve can be defined parametrically as
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(7)
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(8)
The areas of these hearts are
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(9)
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(10)
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(11)
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(12)
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(13)
.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/.com/blogger_img_proxy/
(14)
where .com/blogger_img_proxy/ can be given in closed form as a complicated combination of hypergeometric functionsinverse tangents, and gamma functions.


BonneProjection_1000

The Bonne projection is a map projection that maps the surface of a sphere onto a heart-shaped region as illustrated above.
