For Fun: Interesting and/or historically significant parametric curves
Cycloid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cycloid_f.gif
Some curves related to cycloid:
Curtate cycloid: The curve traced by a point inside a circle that rolls on a line.
Prolate cycloid: The curve traced by a point outside a circle that rolls on a line.
Hypocycloid: The curve traced by a point on the edge of a circle that rolls on the inside of another circle.

Epicycloid: The curve traced by a point on the edge of a circle that rolls on the outside of another circle.

Witch of Agnesi (named after the woman mathematician who studied this curve in the 1700's Maria Agnesi)
