Adventures with Lissajous Figures

Lissajous Figures are produced by combining two oscillations at right angles to each other. The figures, drawn by mechanical devices called Harmonographs, have scientific uses, but are also enjoyed for their own beauty. This book is intended for people who enjoy physics or art or both.

Figurile Lissajous sunt produse prin combinarea a doua oscilatii in unghi drept intre ele. Cifrele, desenate de dispozitivele mecanice numite Harmonographs, au utilizari stiintifice, dar sunt, de asemenea, apreciate pentru propria lor frumusete.
