The witch of Agnesi is a curve that is defined by using a fixed circle, a point O is placed on the circle. For any other point A on the circle, the line OA is drawn. Point M is opposite to O. Line OA intersects the tangent of M at point N. The line parallel to OM and through N, and the line perpendicular to OM and through A cross at P. As A is moved around the circle, the path of P draws a curve.

Maria Gaetana Agnesi published her famous treatise in 1748, in which the curve was named 'versiera', but through a mistranslation it became known as the "witch of Maria Agnesi".

This piece can be worked with the formula and the text or with one or the other. Or if you really want to be subtle, just the drawing. This will of course give you different finished image sizes.
