This example demonstrates Lissajous curves, complex trajectories formed by the combination of two perpendicular simple harmonic vibrations. It involves core mathematical concepts such as functions, trigonometry, parametric equations, and coordinate geometry. The construction utilizes the GeoGebra 'CurveCartesian' command to plot the curve in Cartesian coordinates. Suitable for high school and above students to learn and understand function transformations, combinations, and applications in calculus and complex numbers.
