comment Differentiating space curves
@Artes: I hadn't seen that before. But I'd rather not redefine tangent and normal for every curve I might be interested in.

comment How to make a plot of function over 24 orders of magnitude?
As far as I can tell, the asker wants the point $(d, 0.0000697)$ to be visible on the plot, so this does not answer the question.

comment Mystified by inability to find info to do what seems really basic
...I don't understand why you don't put the expressions into multiple input cells?

comment How to create new “person curve”?
Given that the coefficients of $t$ inside the sinusoids are 1, 2, 3, ..., this is probably just the Fourier representation of a parametric curve. I'd guess they manually traced the curve as a polygon, took the discrete Fourier transform, and kept just enough of the lowest-order modes to make the curve look right. See also: Ptolemy and Homer (Simpson).

@chris: Oh, that. Yeah, that makes sense. Silly me.

comment Problem with SphericalPlot3D plotting
@chris: Unless the editor is different from the notebook interface, that doesn't work for me. Whether it's an input or output cell, whenever I copy a θ it pastes as \[Theta] outside Mathematica.

Oh well, I pasted them in from Character Map. Hope I didn't make a mistake somewhere.

comment Problem with SphericalPlot3D plotting
@Mr.Wizard, I don't think it's a duplicate. That question is about colouring the plot; this one is about parts of the desired plot not showing up at all. Unless there's some subtle property of Mathematica I'm missing that makes these the same thing, which, given that Mathematica is sufficiently complicated, is a possibility I won't dismiss...

comment Problem with SphericalPlot3D plotting
Is there an easy way to replace the escaped characters with their Unicode equivalents? I searched on meta but only found rcollyer saying they would do this, but not how to do so.

comment Regionplot with Boole - with more than dimension number of variables
Three equations in four variables will give you, generically, a one-dimensional solution space, which will project to a curve in 3D. This looks like it's going to be tricky; certainly RegionPlot3D doesn't do curves.
