Description
Latin for "miraculous spiral", is another name for the logarithmic spiral. Although this curve had already been named by other mathematicians, the specific name ("miraculous" or "marvelous" spiral)
was given to this curve by Jakob Bernoulli. Jakob Bernoulli wanted such a spiral engraved on his headstone, but, by error, an Archimedean
spiral was placed there instead.
Thanx ya'll!
phill dead! Happy H
