An easy way to construct a dodecahedron, interesting connections between conic sections in the Cartesian system and limacons in the polar coordinate system, and the use of u-substitutions in simplifying the integration of certain functions are all explored. A BASIC program is provided with the limacon-conic section discussion. (MP)
