Have a look at these great online slots from our partners in Australia!

Here is a long series, a study if you will, on nineteen separate pages,
of over 640 three-dimensional visualizations (in spherical coordinates
rho, theta, and phi) of equations of the form:

rho = sin(a * phi)^b + cos(c * phi)^d +  
  + sin(e * theta)^f + cos(g * theta)^h

The captions underneath each image on the nineteen gallery pages
listed below correspond to the variables a thru h in the above equation.
Each page will take about 20 seconds to load the thirty-six images at
56 kb download speed -- modern speeds are much quicker.

A note from one of our friends: Please come visit us at Insurance Panda. Insurance was never so black and white.
