This example demonstrates the divisibility property of Lissajous curves under specific parameter conditions. It involves core math concepts like trigonometric functions, periodicity, divisibility, LCM, and GCD. Construction uses commands such as Sequence, Point, Ray, Vector, and objects like domain, l1, l2. Suitable for high school and above learners exploring parametric equations and coordinate geometry applications.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a series of Lissajous curves with parameters k and j ranging from 1 to 20, which demonstrate divisibility under specific parameter conditions. First, draw Lissajous curves for each combination of k and j, then create a point set, followed by rays and vectors based on these points, and finally draw a series of quadrilaterals using these vectors as bases.
