Going Around, Under and Through Circles: Mathematics and Computer Art. Part 3.
Gordon, Sheldon P.; Gordon, Florence S. – Creative Computing, 1984
Epicycloids are formed by tracing the path of a fixed point on a circle as it rolls aroung the outside of a larger circle. Examines several possibilities related to epicycloids (and hypocycloids), presenting more mathematical patterns and artistic shapes that result from using several computer programs. Program listings are included. (JN)

Going Around On Circles: Mathematics and Computer Art. Part 2.
Gordon, Sheldon P.; Gordon, Florence S. – Creative Computing, 1984
Discusses properties of epicycloids. (The easiest way to picture them is to think of a piece of radioactive bubble gum attached to a wheel which is rolling around the outside of a larger wheel.) Includes a computer program (TRS-80 color computer) that will graph any epicycloid with integer values for the radii. (JN)
