Borb Generator
Sometimes you just need a borb. They make good digital stickers, profile pics and more. I created the Borb Generator to make random borbs using pointillism in p5js. There are over 900,000 points in each Borb. Here is a link on OpenProcessing to the Borb Generator to make your own. Refresh to code to
Random Math Poetry
I think the challenge here is to find the math that can fit the poetry… If you want a browser tab version, click here. You can also edit it and change the words as well. Below is the codepen: See the Pen OJNKQmE by Sophia (@fractalkitty) on CodePen.
Parametric Play!
Here are some simple animations with parametric equations. What you see below is a function and its inverse. If you click, you will get another semi-random equation. See the Pen qBZgZvW by Sophia (@fractalkitty) on CodePen.
Foiled by a Foil
I couldn’t resist this GIF for my algebra students. Foiling can be such fun!
Moiré GIF: by Opal
My daughter started playing with moiré in procreate after I fiddled with it in a previous post. You know we breathe math in our home. She wanted to share:
Parallel to a Parabola
I received a question today about what curve is parallel to a parabola. I sat for a minute and realized that it wasn’t another parabola. It required parametric equations (at least if you wanted to keep it simple). That of course lead to code: See the Pen jOqzMJb by Sophia (@fractalkitty) on CodePen.
Hex-a-Sierpinski
So I doodled and was pleasantly surprised when Sierpinski-like triangles formed. I am sure that a million people have discovered this before me, but I felt like I found a magic portal. And that lead to coding (of which is currently a mess, and I will post later). And one more version:
Coffee = Donut
I know it is an obvious one, but it’s what I doodled tonight…
Popping Apollonian Gasket
I doodled this GIF after two days of painting the canvas below. I think I am in the process of preparing for my fall classes and students. Art is definitely an outlet – especially when it’s math + art.
