CHAPTER XI THE LOGARITHMIC SPIRAL

we have as follows:

Accordingly, we see that (1), when the constant angle of the spiral is small, the spiral itself is scarcely distinguishable from a straight line, and its length is but very little greater than that of its own radius vector. This remains pretty much the case for a considerable increase of angle, say from 0ô¯ to 20ô¯ or more; (2) for a very
