In mathematics, a seashell surface is a surface made by a circle which spirals up the ''z''-axis while decreasing its own radius and distance from the ''z''-axis. Not all seashell surfaces describe actual seashells found in nature. ==Parametrization== The following is a parameterization of one seashell surface: : where and \\ Various authors have suggested different models for the shape of shell. David M. Raup proposed a model where there is one magnification for the x-y plane, and another for the x-z plane. Chris Illert〔Dr Chris Illert was awarded his Ph.D. on 26 September 2013 at the University of Western Sydney http://www.uws.edu.au/__data/assets/image/0004/547060/2013_ICS_Graduates.jpg. Enquiries about his work can be directed to the University of Wollongong via Michael Organ. http://www.uow.edu.au/~morgan〕 proposed a model where the magnification is scalar, and the same for any sense or direction with an equation like : which starts with an initial generating curve and applies a rotation and exponential magnification. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seashell surface」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
