I love math.








I love math.








[update: this feature no longer seems to be supported in google]
Have you ever wanted to graph a heart? Have you ever wanted to graph a heart using google? Well I really hope you will once you see this, haha:
Google just introduced graphing capabilities via search. They have been helping with simple math (addition,multiplication) and even more advanced calculations (such as sin) for a while, but graphing is new! So, being crazy in love like I am, the first thing I wanted to do was graph a heart and post it on my girlfriend’s Facebook.
Did some searching (via google) on heart equations and found a good article on the subject via Wolfram:

However, none of them were in the y=? format that google needed, so I busted out my trusty TI calculator and brushed off my math skills to produce these two equations:
y=0.75x^(2/3)+(1-x^2)^(1/2)
y=0.75x^(2/3)-(1- x^2)^(1/2)
So, if you go to google and type in:
graph 0.75x^(2/3)+(1-x^2)^(1/2),0.75x^(2/3)-(1- x^2)^(1/2)
You will get yourself your very own heart graph via Google!!
Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
This makes my brain hurt. It is a paradox, right?

I believe there is no correct answer. Please someone help me figure this out.
If you haven’t heard of Demetri Martin, who is the creator of this most awesome graph… go to google right now 😀 you know what to do!

References to math and Star Wars? Count me in as a fan 🙂

Is it only because I’m a nerd that I find this funny?
