inside out


obviously, this is a nerdy post. haha. click here if you want to see other similar figures XP

by definition, an evolute is a method of deriving a new curve based on a given curve. it is the locus of the centers of tangent circles of the given curve.

the figure above shows a cardioid and its evolute - which is also a cardioid. neat, huh?

i wonder what my evolute would be..
i have the same question as the one in the link. but i'd like to think i wouldn't have to ask it. not for a long, long, long time. omg this is pure torture.. X_x
