Logarithmic spiral

A logarithmic spiral, equiangular spiral or growth spiral is a self-similar spiral curve which often appears in nature. The logarithmic spiral was first described by Descartes and later extensively investigated by Jacob Bernoulli, who called it ''Spira mirabilis'', "the marvelous spiral".
==Definition==
In polar coordinates (r, \theta) the logarithmic curve can be written as
:r = ae^\,
or
:\theta = \frac \ln(r/a),
with e being the base of natural logarithms, and a and b being arbitrary positive real constants.
In parametric form, the curve is
:x(t) = r(t) \cos(t) = ae^ \cos(t)\,
:y(t) = r(t) \sin(t) = ae^ \sin(t)\,
with real numbers a and b.
The spiral has the property that the angle ''φ'' between the tangent and radial line at the point (r, \theta) is constant. This property can be expressed in differential geometric terms as
:\arccos \frac'(\theta) \rangle}'(\theta)\|} = \arctan \frac = \phi.
The derivative of \mathbf(\theta) is proportional to the parameter b. In other words, it controls how "tightly" and in which direction the spiral spirals. In the extreme case that b = 0 (\textstyle\phi = \frac) the spiral becomes a circle of radius a. Conversely, in the limit that b approaches infinity (''φ'' → 0) the spiral tends toward a straight half-line. The complement of ''φ'' is called the ''pitch''.
