How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19450052 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Schwarz–Christoffel mapping
The Schwarz–Christoffel mapping is a conformal transformation that maps the upper half-plane (or unit disk) onto polygonal regions, playing a central role in complex analysis and applications such as fluid dynamics and electrostatics.
-
B.
Lissajous curve
A Lissajous curve is a complex, looping figure traced by combining two perpendicular harmonic motions, often visualized on an oscilloscope.
-
C.
Fermat's spiral
Fermat's spiral is a plane curve whose radius grows with the square root of the angle, often used to model naturally occurring spiral patterns such as those in sunflowers and other phyllotactic arrangements.
-
D.
Mandelbrot set
The Mandelbrot set is a famous complex-plane fractal defined by iterating quadratic polynomials, known for its infinitely intricate boundary and iconic role in chaos theory and complex dynamics.
-
E.
Ulam spiral
The Ulam spiral is a graphical arrangement of the positive integers in a spiral pattern that reveals striking diagonal alignments of prime numbers, suggesting unexpected structure in their distribution.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
