staceythinx: Drawings by Aja Johnson available in her microMACRO Etsy store. Johnson on her work: I am mostly inspired by repetition in nature, and biology in general. I am fascinated by the visuals in science textbooks; I spend a lot of time at my local library pouring over them searching for inspiration.

4:58 PM | Fire In The Room

A physicist and engineer and a mathematician were sleeping in a hotel room when a fire broke out in one corner of the room. Only the engineer woke up he saw the fire, grabbed a bucket of water and threw it on the fire and the fire went out, then he filled up the bucket again and threw that bucketfull on the ashes as a safety factor, and he went back to sleep. A little later, another fire broke out in a different corner of the room and only the phy [...]

Yet Another Door Distribution Again. Here is a side entrance door to a building on our campus. During the academic year I pass through this door several times a week to go to lunch.Only just recently have I taken notice of the wear patten on the door. This is the handle of the right hand door of two. It has the most wear, being opened primarily with right hands. Most wear is at a comfortable height to grab. Less wear can be seen higher as the top of the door handle ends. But there is also less [â€¦]

staceythinx: Symmetrium by Niko Luoma Luoma on his work: My material is light. The work focuses on energy rather than matter. My work is about the process as much as about the result. My process combines systems of calculation and change. I find my inspiration in mathematics and geometry; symmetry and chaos, both imagined and found in nature… In my recent “symmetrium” series, time reveals the process through thousands of exposures on a single negative.

El avance de las matemáticas y la necesidad de formalización para asentarlas en buenas bases llevó a definir los números naturales a partir de los cinco axiomas de Peano. Aunque estas construcciones matemáticas, necesarias a nivel profesional, no deben confundirnos, podemos … Sigue leyendo →

If a mathematician wants to cross a road, they will think carefully about their optimal path. The total distance of the path should be minimised, but they prefer walking on the sidewalk to the road. If there is no extra discomfort from being on the road, the best path is a straight line, but as it increases it is better to cross the road more directly. The resulting path is exactly the same as a ray of light refracting through a block of glass [with relative refractive index equal to the [â€¦]

bradly-alicea: Happy 50th birthday to the study of chaos [1]. A worldview first proposed (in formal fashion) by Edward Lorenz in a landmark paper on weather prediction called “Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow” [2]. Later, the field would grow to encompass analytical strategies such as nonperiodic attractors, bifurcation maps, and fractals. As a new way to describe physical phenomena and complex systems with a high degree of nonlinearity and subtle unpredictabilities (e.g. the butterfly [â€¦]
