Since it’s Math Thursday, we’ll discuss line designs! Line designs directly relate to Calculus is multiple ways and are tons of fun to make! Line designs create curves, which in turn help create the design, from straight line segments! Then, each line segment serves as the tangent line of the curve being created. While doing this project, I learned that you can create curves that are circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, and even spirals! Making tangent lines applies directly to our Calculus topics at the beginning of the year, and played a major role throughout the year. Tangent lines are everywhere!
