In order to arouse interest of my high school students to plot graphs I want to plot interesting funny graphs such as the one of the batman equation. I'm looking something simpler, maybe in a form of a piece-wise function.

I want to plot it in class.

Though it's not funny, but one of very beautiful graphs is "The Love Graph".

\begin{align} &x =16\sin^3 t \\ &y = 13\cos t -5\cos 2t -2\cos 3t -\cos 4t \end{align}

enter image description here

  • Thank you for your answer, but I think I won't be able to plot this graph by hand in class – user42912 Nov 07 '17 at 13:49
  • @user42912 Certainly you won't be able to, let me search for some graphs that are easy to plot by hand. As you mentioned the Batman Equation, I thought you may be using projector or something like that in your class. – Jaideep Khare Nov 07 '17 at 13:53
  • Thank you very much! If you find something easier please let me know – user42912 Nov 07 '17 at 15:59

how about $$\sin(\sin(x))=\cos(\sin(xy)+\cos(x)?$$

$$y = | \sin(x)| + 5\exp(-x^{100})\cos(x) , -\pi < x < \pi$$

$$x^{2/3} +y^{2/3} = a^{2/3}$$ it graphs as an astroid or a star shaped curve
