programming beginner

TL;DR

Fitting Meta's logo with Besace curves is easier than you think – just two parameters!

Meta's iconic logo has sparked a mathematical mystery. Developers, rejoice! A clever post revealed the logo's shape is actually a Besace curve, and we're breaking down how to fit it with just two parameters (a and b). No math phobia required.

Key Takeaways

  • Fitting a Besace curve takes only 5 minutes
  • Start by rewriting the parametric form: t ranges over [0, 2π]
  • Plug in the logo's coordinates to find a and b
