We wish you all a happy Valentine's day with origami hearts and an equation.
Let's make a plot in polar coordinates, of r=|ϕ|p. The angle ϕ goes from −π to π, and p≈1. Here is the plot, in processing, with ϕ=0 pointing up. Move the mouse to change p!
Mathworld has more equations for hearts, but none of them is as simple as ours. As p=1 gives a nice shape, p can be left out for an even simpler equation.
