Archimedean Spiral

An Archimedean spiral is a type of spiral that expands outward as it curves around a central point. The distance between each loop of the spiral remains constant. Imagine a spring or a spiral staircase; as you go from the center to the outer edge, the space between the turns stays the same. This spiral is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, who studied its properties. It can be found in nature and applications, such as in the patterns of certain shells and in design elements. It represents a simple yet elegant mathematical curve.
