**Mathematicians are chasing a number that may reveal the edge of maths**

When we teach students that matrix #math via #AI can cure disease and answer previously unfathomable questions (e.g. "What is the fundamental #nature of #reality?") I'll bet they'll start paying attention in #algebra class! #education #STEM #AIforGood

When I started with Dani's Race I thought that the extend of my programming will be something like dynamically changing the speed of a car and maybe loading and unloading certain things on the map based on the distance from them. But quickly it became a mind-field of math and other programming cleverness. A...

Bei der neuen Spielvariante wird gegeneinander gespielt. Jeweils an einer Seite vom Handy. Dazwischen schwimmen dann die Schildkröten um die Wette. Bei einer richtigen Antwort schwimmt die eigene Schildkröte ein Stück weiter. So der aktuelle Plan..

Made a new #complex #function #visualizer using #Shadertoy #GLSL

It creates more lines in regions with a lower gradient/derivative, which feels like a grid with repeating steps/lines. Functions can be explored much better in my opinion.

Hi!
Here is a new hectoc challenge for you:

838622

The goal is to combine the 6 numbers to a total of 100. You can use the mathematical operations + - * / ^ and the parenthesis ( ). Numbers can be combined, but you have to use all 6 of them and are not allowed to change the order. See https://hectoc.seism0saurus.de for an example. Please use CW "solution".

Have fun! Your hourly hectoc bot

Question for #math and #ComputerScience folks: What search terms should I use to find papers related to transitioning graphs to other graphs. Kinda like graph cellular automata but more the basic operations. I want to think about code AST transforms but would like to learn about general purpose graph transforms first. Boosts appreciated.

"Trinity" is a (highly) stylized depiction of the complex cube root. The 90mm polished brass piece was made by Shapeways in spring 2023 using lost-wax casting.

Optimizing a Math Expression Parser in Rust

Hi! This is my #introduction post here on absturztau.

I'm a lover of #math (I have a video essay on the cardinalities of the naturals and the reals, as well as a complex function visualization tool), #computerscience (it's my major plus have a ton of side projects on my GitHub), and, of course, #gamedev (I was part of the gamedev student group in university and am currently developing a commercial game on my own).

I still have an active account on mathstodon.xyz/@wqferr, but I was told I was really missing out on sharkey (and honestly my prev instance's emotes kinda suck).

I read "700% increase in assaults" on DHS/ICE/etc. officers and went sure, I bet that means there were virtually none in the reference period.

Yep, there were 10 in the reference period.

And the 700% increase includes all the ridiculous made up ones, like the diminutive 80 year old Congress woman charged with assaulting meal team 6 hippos in Newark.

"In mathematics it is new ways of looking at old things which seem to be the most prolific sources of far-reaching discoveries. A particular fact may have been known for centuries, and it may have been sterile or of only minor interest all that time, when suddenly some original mind glimpses it from a new angle and perceives the gateway to an empire." – Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960)

These artworks are based on a generalization of Lucas sequences for complex numbers, defined as:
Z(0) = 1
Z(1) = 1 or i
Z(n) = shrink( e^(iθ)·Z(n-1) + Z(n-2) )

Where shrink() is a function which decreases a complex number into the two-unit square or the unit circle centered at the origin. In these works I use three different versions, based on taking out the integer part of the real and imaginary parts (or the integer part minus 1), or of the modulus of the number in polar form.

Figure 1 depicts the 128 values walk using θ = π/5 and Z(1) = i, and the shrinking function which takes out the integer part of the real and imaginary parts.

In the three artworks that follow, the lines connecting successive values toggle between being drawn or not. See the alt text for more information related to the artworks.
