Introduction

The program ESGRAPH plots the parametric equations containing integrals:

x(t) = ∫(cos f(x) dx, x = 0 to t)
y(t) = ∫(sin f(x) dx, x = 0 to t)

The program uses f(x) = a*x^p

When p = 2, the curve is a Euler Spiral (see source).

CASIO`s 20-year-old graphing calculators can handle this example. What does 9750GIII have to do with it? Is that a demonstration of the new Menu function, which was introduced in the TI calculators back in 1994?

The fx-9750GIII was the calculator I used for this particular post. Of course it isn't the only calculator that this can be done on?

"for the Mathematically Curious" is a nice qualifier! (From the citation in the article)

Chiming in to agree. I never read a post at your blog I didn't like.

Thanks for sharing this - I just picked up the Fx-9750GIII , mostly for the python support. Its been fun to play with.

I did enter the program for the ESGraph Plots from your post and initially had an issue when it came to plotting the values.

I think the for loop needs to have the integrals for X,Y vary by the step value defined for T - Basically if you change ∫(A×cos(X^P),0,-2π)→X to ∫(A×cos(X^P),0,T)→X and ∫(A×sin(X^P),0,-2π)→Y to ∫(A×sin(X^P),0,T)→Y I get the graphs shown on your blog.

Apologies if this was obvious to all.

Thanks and regards for making the effort - I do enjoy reading your posts here and on your blog.

It should also be noted that KhiCAS is now available on the Casio Fx-9750GIII (thank you Parisse!) giving it a CAS that is similar to the one in the HP Prime (same Xcas engine).
