Osculation

A friend and I were talking about interfering with radio waves (no not illegal FCC moderated ones) by broadcasting/transmitting on the same frequency. Then we got into the discussion about osculating. Here are two pictures where you can see involving both Trig and Calculus. The first one is f(x)=sin(1/x) (my favorite) with osculation going out of control as x approaches 0, but never reaches 0. The other ones demonstrate different frequencies.




This can be applied to everyday life, well, everyday mad scientist life. Ask me how.

I got this off the wikipedia.


t is time.
