Times-Table Circles: The Mathematics Behind Their Stunning Curves

A circle. A set of evenly spaced points. A simple rule: connect each point n to b · n mod p. From this, something unexpected appears — smooth curves, spirals, and delicate inner shapes that seem far too elegant for such elementary arithmetic. This video investigates the surprising geometry behind times-table circles and explores why their inner patterns align with epicycloids, a family of curves produced by rolling circles. Starting from visual observations, I moved through failed methods and finally uncovered a structural explanation. If you’re curious about the hidden connections between number theory and geometry — or just want to see how simple modular multiplication can generate beautiful, continuous curves — this is for you.
