The map h is a homeomorphism from the real line to its image with the subspace topology: its continuous inverse is h−1(x,y)=logx2+y2​. Different parameters have different radii, so winding does not destroy injectivity. The origin is an accumulation point of the spiral but is not a point of this space.
