Talk:Lemniscate

Shape
The lemniscate can make a (> <) shape with particular values where two seperate areas are divided Thus if you meet an entity with a thing for the nteger between 7 n nine just say lemniscate to break infinity

Infinity symbol
The illustration is of the infinity symbol in different fonts so is not very indicative of the range of lemniscates. Also they very in thickness so are not even curves.Kwenchin (talk) 20:54, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Alpha and omega anyone ?
Couldn't the leminiscate just be alpha and omega merged together ? The leminiscate represents infinity, which is quite litterally « the beggining and the end, the first and the last ». — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.151.6.1 (talk) 02:46, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Snake?
Isn't the Lemniscate based on a 2 headed mythological snake eating one of it's heads?

Whether this is verifiable or not, there is no origin section. Nor is there a See Also link to the extremely similar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.245.59 (talk) 01:58, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Is there a reason why the lemniscate 'refers to' the Maillard reaction? Given that the page for the reaction itself has no mention, I'm going to go ahead and delete the reference. 1814, 10 Nov 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.187.64 (talk) 23:15, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

relation
Hi. What is a relation between polynomial and Bernoulli lemniscates ? --Adam majewski (talk) 08:21, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

why link deleted ?
Hello, i don't understand why the link to Devil's curve was deleted. The curve ressembles that of the lemniscate. In fact, the english version of Devil's curve is linked to lemniscate, so why not vice versa? The french version goes both ways.

As far as I can see, the link to analema is even less justifiable. Thx. User:David Eppstein Hexagone59 (talk) 00:33, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
 * If you're asking, why did I remove the second link to Devil's curve from the lemniscate article, when it was already prominently linked immediately above, then the answer (already mentioned in my edit summary) is that WP:SEEALSO says to: "As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes." —David Eppstein (talk) 00:43, 29 November 2015 (UTC)


 * David Eppstein Thank you for your answer, I didn't see the link, sorry :-) Hexagone59 (talk) 18:21, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Trig forms
Are there trigonometric forms of the lemniscate, e.g., something similar to $$r = | cos(\theta) |$$? — Loadmaster (talk) 19:58, 16 March 2017 (UTC)


 * @Loadmaster one such type of curve is a lissajous figure. Ccrrccrr (talk) 14:51, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
