Parametric equation In mathematics a parametric equation of a curve is a representation of this curve through equations expressing the coordinates of the points of the curve as functions of a variable called parameter. Definition 45 Parametric Equations and Curves Let and be continuous functions on an interval. Any of a set of equations that express the coordinates of the points of a curve as functions of one parameter or that express the coordinates of the points of a surface as functions of two parameters First Known Use of parametric equation 1902 in the meaning defined above.
Sure not every setup has a hidden parameter but isnt it worth a look.
In the two-dimensional space the parametric curves are. Id been stuck in the timephysics mindset. Any of a set of equations that express the coordinates of the points of a curve as functions of one parameter or that express the coordinates of the points of a surface as functions of two parameters First Known Use of parametric equation 1902 in the meaning defined above. Parametric equation a type of equation that employs an independent variable called a parameter often denoted by t and in which dependent variables are defined as continuous functions of the parameter and are not dependent on another existing variable.
