3D-XplorMath. Space curve, Loxodrome #1

Last of the 3DXplorMath series – I found this surface timely to close this month long interplay between Mathematics and Mars. A space curve is a curve which may pass through any region of three-dimensional space. The word “loxodrome” comes from Greek loxos : oblique & dromos : running. It is a line crossing all meridians at a constant angle.
