I am trying to animate two different space curves such that the second curve starts a specified time after the 1st curve. At first glance, it looked like this would work, but it does not. > with(plots); with(Student[VectorCalculus]); > > a := animate(spacecurve, [[cos(t), sin(t), t], t = 0 .. A], A = 0 .. 2 Pi, color = red, axes = boxed, labels = [x, y, z]); > b := animate(spacecurve, [[sin(t), cos(t), t], t = Pi .. B], B = Pi .. 2 Pi), color = blue); > display(a, b); The red curve actually starts after the blue curve (should be the other way around), but the difference is not Pi seconds, as I would have expected. Any ideas? Thanks!!!
