Overview
A hypocycloid is not really an equation, or a graph, or any true function. A hypocycloid is simply a representation of the edge of a wheel or other circular item rolling on the inside of a circle to form curves. What is more noticeable than the curves it forms is the shape enclosed by the curves, which is almost like a stretched out diamond. This stretched out shape is the real hypocycloid.
