1ucasvb:

The familiar trigonometric functions can be geometrically derived from a circle.

But what if, instead of the circle, we used a regular polygon?

In this animation, we see what the “polygonal sine” looks like for the square and the hexagon. The polygon is such that the inscribed circle has radius 1.

We’ll keep using the angle from the x-axis as the function’s input, instead of the distance along the shape’s boundary. (These are only the same value in the case of a unit circle!) This is why the square does not trace a straight diagonal line, as you might expect, but a segment of the tangent function. In other words, the speed of the dot around the polygon is not constant anymore, but the angle the dot makes changes at a constant rate.

Since these polygons are not perfectly symmetrical like the circle, the function will depend on the orientation of the polygon.

More on this subject and derivations of the functions can be found in this other post

Now you can also listen to what these waves sound like.

This technique is general for any polar curve. Here’s a heart’s sine function, for instance

It turns out that it is pretty easy to find a static, two-dimensional encoding for the sorting process. The specific technique used here only works when the sorting algorithm is in-place, i.e. does not use any storage external to the array itself. Some of the algorithms below have been slightly modified from their standard forms to make sure they have this property. The magnitude of a number is indicated by shading - higher numbers are darker, and lower numbers are lighter. We begin on the left hand side with the numbers in a random order, and the sorting progression plays out until we reach the right hand side with a sorted sequence. Time, in this particular case, is measured by the number of “swaps” performed. This means that all swaps are equidistant on the diagram, and that only a single swap occurs at any point in time.
