After today's talks, the #art exhibit of the Bridges #MathArt conference has opened. Like the conference papers, all exhibited artworks are openly accessible online. While they are better in person, you can find their digital representations here: gallery.bridgesmathart.org/exhibitions/....

Looking forward to meeting everyone in Eindhoven on Monday and to a great week of #MathArt!

Three knight's tours of a 32x32 chessboard. Each contains the set of edges (knight's moves) shown in the top left. Each is a single unicursal path that can be traced without lifting one's writing implement from the paper. #mathart

The cover of "An invitation to Real Analysis." The bottom half depicts a fair but not cloudless sky edged in the bottom corners by reaching branches of tall oaks tinged with spring green. A torus wrapped by a blue-and-cyan solenoid curve of slope pi fills the sky.

"An Invitation to Real Analysis" should be out in October. I hope the book helps students around the globe learn real analysis for many years into the future. In any event, telling this story of numbers, sets, sequences, and functions is something I got to do in My Time Here.

I'll be in NYC this week for the opening of an art exhibition at the Museum of Mathematics. "Warped Realities" showcases the work of seven artists, and includes ten of my ceramic sculptures. If you're able, please join us Thursday evening at 6:30. . momath.org/composite-ga...

Update to the #MathArt starter pack - it comes now with several more, great, stunning #Math artists. Be sure to follow all of them, please spread the word, and let me know if you have further suggestions!

The title is from the same phrase popularized in the 1960s by R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller. Fuller also popularized the geodesic dome, which has a related construction. This work is based on the 2,1-Goldberg polyhedron where the edges have been replaced with rhombic pieces of colored corrugated plastic. This piece is an abstract model of the Earth make from 210 pieces: 60 green pieces and 150 blue pieces. About 71% of the pieces are blue, which is about the same percentage of the Earth's surface covered by water. We are individuals, yet travel through space together, inhabitants on and caretakers of the same tiny planet we call Earth.

A pattern of circles. How many do you see? Clever counting should reveal a fun answer.

#MathArtMarch Day 7: How Many?
How many small white circles do you see? Clever counting should reveal a fun answer.

There's also some frequency modulation.

One single line (in a general sense) that draws 2025. Each row has a sine curve that varies in amplitude and frequency to distinguish between foreground and background.

The image, based on a photograph, is made from 1919 stippled X's. The size, crossing angle, and arm dimensions of each X is related to the original photo’s brightness and local gradient. The use of the X symbol celebrates her work on Hilbert's tenth problem and the common use of the X symbol for an unknown variable.

#MathArtMarch Day 5: Discovery
Julia is the Solution
This work pays homage to Julia Robinson (1919–1985). Her work was a critical component in discovering a proof (negatively) of Hilbert's tenth problem.

Here are 89 circles on a phyllotactic spiral. A nod to 89 being a Fibonacci number and the connection between many plant structures and Fibonacci numbers.

Still catching up with early #MathArtMarch themes.

A flurry of snowflakes swirl in this homage to winter. Each snowflake is created using a random process and are packed within the image using a bespoke packing algorithm so that no snowflake intersects another.

#MathArtMarch Day 3: Nature
Swirling Snowflakes
It wasn't until the early 1900s that scientists began to understand the nature of frozen water crystals that leads to their beautiful structure.

41 superellipses on a rotated square grid. Because 41 is a prime that is one more than multiple of 4 (congruent to 1 mod 4), it can be represented as a sum of two squares. In this case, 41 = 4*4 + 5*5.

Happy numbers are in green and other numbers are in blue. The 4, 16, 37, 58, 89, 145, 42, 20 cycle is show in red.

#MathArtMarch Day 30: Game
Take a number n, square the digits, add to get a new number, repeat. If the sequence ever reaches 1, the n is a happy number (green); otherwise (blue) it ends up in the 4, 16, 37, 58, 89, 145, 42, 20 cycle (red). It's a fun little arithmetic game to play.

Sure thing. Check out this work from @baabbbaash.bsky.social

Rotated logarithmic curves facing opposite directions creates a vortex pattern inside a circle. Contained within the circular grid are more alternating sets of opposite facing logarithmic curves. White on black background.
