We made a new puzzle based on the Spectre tile, the aperiodic monotile discovered earlier this year by @Chaimgoodmanstrauss, @csk, and others. It is a set of 111 tiles with a truchet-style pattern printed on them
Over the years, I've played with code and particle systems to create art. In the systems I develop, each particle has an atomic number and interacts with other particles based on their atomic numbers. In various ways, they 'draw' when they collide.
In this piece, I'm combining one of these particle systems with the Fibonacci system.
The end result? Looks a bit like a quilt, I think.
Something I don't always remember when making #mathart is to change parameters at random just to see what happens. This code is almost identical to the last image, if you make the individual flowers much much bigger so they overwhelm the image. #rtistry#genartclub
Two more outputs from my flow field system. Trying to judge by eye what makes a good composition from the random outputs and then restricting the system to make those combinations more likely.
Three-sheet Monty, branched over the origin: The complex cubing map (top to bottom) and multi-valued cube root (bottom to top) branched along the negative real axis.
Complex analysis books generally describe the Riemann surface of the cube root as something like "three copies of the slit complex plane, with the lower edge of each cut joined cyclically to the upper edge of the next cut." This description is correct, but (for me, at least) hides the simple global picture: The Riemann surface of the multi-valued cube root function is itself a complex plane.
The discontinuity of the principal cube root across the branch cut is depicted geometrically in the top plane by the jump in position of the larger dot. The continuity of the multi-valued function is similarly depicted as a rotating equilateral triangle of cube roots.
Comparable pictures hold for square roots, fourth roots, etc.
It's #TilingTuesday - today some #polyhedra - here I tile a cube from 8 identical pieces - each one dodecahedron and three halved bilunabirotundas. There are holes in the model, but actually these shapes can tile space.
Happy birthday to founder of modern nursing, social reformer, statistician, data visualization innovator & writer Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910)!
Nightingale earned the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" during the Crimean War, from a phrase used by The Times, describing her as a “ministering angel” making her solitary rounds of the hospital at night with “a little lamp in her hand”. 🧵1/n
