  1. The Lemniscate of Bernoulli The cool way to write infinity By Jonathan O’Connell

  2. Who was Bernoulli? Bernoulli was born in The Netherlands in 1700. Part of a predominate math family. Worked in areas of statistics, physics, and mathmatics. Developed fluid dynamics equations.

  3. How it works

  4. Representing the Lemniscate Cartesian: Polar: Parametric:

  5. Finding the Polar equation • My cool geogebra file OC = CA = OP’ is parallel to HF’ OQ = PP’ 2QC = OH 2PQ = HH’ Then is similar to Now 2PC = OH’ = a

  6. Polar cont. • Let be and OQ be r • Segment OH = • OA =

  7. It all comes together • It’s a trig identity! • Matlab generated polar graph

  8. Changing to parametric • Matlab generated graph

  9. Interesting stuff • Delicious math =
