It's possible to draw anything with a math function?

You could draw a representation of anything with a math function, yes. Have fun calculating anything complex though.

With polar coordinates and Fourier transforms, you can draw the outlines of tons of figures. But you can't go back. Imagine that you can go with your pen around the center in only one direction, but any distance from the center.

.... I think you can go back... but maybe I didn't get your explanation

Short answer yes

But it actually depends on what you mean by draw
