Elliptic spiral

What is/are the parametric equation/s of an elliptic spiral?-- 86.125.178.4 ( talk) 09:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC) reply

I've not heard of there being a particuar curve called the elliptic spiral. As a generic idea I'd gues it just means the sort of curve you'd see if you looked at one of he normal spirals at an angle. To get that sort of thing just squashing the y axis by some factor would do the job. Dmcq ( talk) 11:23, 6 June 2012 (UTC) reply

What is larger?

from grahams number. G64^G64 or G65? 203.112.82.2 ( talk) 23:58, 6 June 2012 (UTC) reply

G65 is much much larger. Rckrone ( talk) 04:25, 7 June 2012 (UTC) reply
A forgivably severe understatement. -- COVIZAPIBETEFOKY ( talk) 13:33, 7 June 2012 (UTC) reply

G64 or 3->3->3->3? -- 84.61.149.75 ( talk) 20:20, 8 June 2012 (UTC) reply

What about 2->2->2 ... 2->2->2, with G64 arrows? -- 84.61.149.75 ( talk) 14:48, 9 June 2012 (UTC) reply
