§7.20(ii) Cornu’s Spiral
Let the set { x ( t ) , y ( t ) , t } be defined by x ( t ) = C ( t ) , y ( t ) = S ( t ) , t 0 . Then the set { x ( t ) , y ( t ) } is called Cornu’s spiral: it is the projection of the corkscrew on the { x , y } -plane. …Then the arc length between the origin and P ( t ) equals t , and is directly proportional to the curvature at P ( t ) , which equals π t . …

5: Sidebar 9.SB1: Supernumerary Rainbows
The faint line below the main colored arc is a ‘supernumerary rainbow’, produced by the interference of different sun-rays traversing a raindrop and emerging in the same direction. …Airy invented his function in 1838 precisely to describe this phenomenon more accurately than Young had done in 1800 when pointing out that supernumerary rainbows require the wave theory of light and are impossible to explain with Newton’s picture of light as a stream of independent corpuscles. The house in the picture is Newton’s birthplace. …

    If f 2 ( z ) , analytic in D 2 , equals f 1 ( z ) on an arc in D = D 1 D 2 , or on just an infinite number of points with a limit point in D , then they are equal throughout D and f 2 ( z ) is called an analytic continuation of f 1 ( z ) . … Suppose z ( t ) = x ( t ) + i y ( t ) , a t b , is an arc and a = t 0 < t 1 < < t n = b . …
