The Archimedean spiral (also known as Archimedes' spiral, the arithmetic spiral) is a spiral named after the 3rd-century BC Greek mathematician Archimedes. The term Archimedean spiral is sometimes used to refer to the more general class of spirals of this type (see below), in contrast to Archimedes' spiral (the specific arithmetic spiral of ...

The Archimedean spiral is shown in red, and corresponds to the values 0 ≤ θ ≤ 8π of the angle parameter, while the Involute of the circle is shown in black, and corresponds to the values 0 ≤ θ ≤ 17π/2 of the angle parameter. The x-axis extends from -25 to +28 and the y-axis from -26.4 to +23.4, and there are tick marks at -20, -10 ...

For <, spiral-ring pattern; =, regular spiral; >, loose spiral. R is the distance of spiral starting point (0, R) to the center. R is the distance of spiral starting point (0, R) to the center. The calculated x and y have to be rotated backward by ( − θ {\displaystyle -\theta } ) for plotting.
An osculating circle Osculating circles of the Archimedean spiral, nested by the Tait–Kneser theorem. "The spiral itself is not drawn: we see it as the locus of points where the circles are especially close to each other." [1] An osculating circle is a circle that best approximates the curvature of a curve at a specific point.
