Ancient astronomers used these epicycles to predict the wandering of the planets in the night sky. Centuries later, Joseph Fourier showed why they work so well: almost any repeating shape can be built by adding together circular motions of different sizes and speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eButterfly.\u003c\/strong\u003e Temple Fay’s butterfly curve from 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it’s for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circles that once tracked the planets are now Fourier analysis, the idea behind audio equalizers, MRI scanners and the compression in MP3s and JPEGs.
