This Week’s Update
No Whiteboard Wednesday this week, but check out the new Math Art Club!
Waves: Beach Picture Craft Camp 5
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This picture shows how you can use trigonometry and calculus to add waves to the ocean in your picture. Next time we\’re going to do a little more editing and get these pictures gallery-ready. Calc You Later!
Cloud in the Sky: Beach Picture Craft Camp 4
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This video shows how to use a line, a segment, some circles, their intersections, and some arcs to add a cloud to your beach picture. I could use your feedback on something! I meant for this to be a weeklong project with five videos, but I keep getting…
Seashells: Beach Picture Craft Camp Video 2
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This video shows the next step in assembling our beach pictures, putting some seashells in the sand. The next step will be up tomorrow, provided things go smoothly (or at least manageably). I\’ll also post a proof of that important fact about the inner angle sum of a…
Sand, Sea, and Sky: Beach Picture Craft Camp Video 1
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This video shows how to set up a background representing sand, sea, and sky so you can get started. Keep your eyes open, because the next step will be up soon. Calc You Later!
Fractal Trees
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! I\’ve learned a lot about making videos since this one, but I\’m posting it anyway in case anyone wants to draw some fractal trees to pass the time. I\’m looking for a good plugin for organizing a gallery for anyone who wants to contribute to it, but until…
GeoGebra: Dynamic Color
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! In this video I show how to experiment with dynamic color in GeoGebra. I\’d really like to see some things folks come up with this way! Carefully take a screenshot and feel free to post it in the comments. Calc You Later!
