You could certainly start with a loop that contains a statement such as
Circle(X,cos(N*X),R) where you have already set up values for N and R.
Of course you would build up a whole fleet of circles on top of each other,
unless you put a ClrDraw statement in between.
If you wanted to get much fancier than this you should probably go into
assembly language. After all, the TI-83 was designed as an _instructional
tool_, not a general-purpose computer!
