Joek van MontfortCynthia arrived in good shape in Amsterdam, ready to shine at TurtleStitch.org/ten and at 4pm today #bridgesmathart #bridges25
Craig S. KaplanHello from Eindhoven! This morning we kicked off Bridges 2025, our annual conference celebrating mathematics and the arts. I might post a few photos during the week, but honestly I'm not that reliable. You're much better off checking out Martin Skrodzki (@msmathcomputer), who's posting a steady stream of everything he sees at the conference. #BridgesMathArt
foldworks@th @mcc Yes, and a fascinating story about “Marjorie Rice and Her Pentagonal Tilings” by Doris Schattschneider http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2018/bridges2018-1.pdf
“The large pentagonal tiles that pave the way to the entrance of the Tekniska Museet in Stockholm may appear to be randomly placed. But they are not; they follow a definite but unusual pattern. Also unusual is the history of how the tiling came to be, and who discovered it. Marjorie Rice, who was not a professional mathematician, discovered this tiling while pursuing for years her self-assigned task of finding all types of convex pentagons that can tile the plane.”

My dyed bandana from the #BridgesMathArt workshop ‘Dyeing to Make an Orbifold’ by Bobby Stecher and Carolyn Yackel https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2024/bridges2024-545.html Looks great but still running blue dye weeks later…

R. Sunder-RajAbout 4 years ago, I was messing around with this pattern. A simplified form eventually ended up being used in the chain maille piece that I had in the Bridges Art Exhibition this year.
It consists of edge-touching rings of edge-touching nonagons
In the center, you can see a ring surrounded by a ring of 6 rings surrounded by 12 and then 18
It has rotational, but not mirror symmetry, even though it might look like it should.
These hexagon tilings are from the rest rooms of the STEM Building, VCU, Richmond, VA, USA. The building was one of several used for the #BridgesMathArt conference.#TilingTuesday
Two metal partitions divide the tiles in half and the reflections match the original tiles: this only happens in the middle stall of three: the other two do not have this fortuitous alignment -- unless it was deliberate? (Now posting as the WiFi would not work for dozens of overseas delegates.)

My pieces in the #bridgesMathArt gallery this year:
A #chainMaille approximation of a pattern of edge-touching 18-gons and a Maple-specific “Manipulations“ print along with a crocheted squiggle of the type that I used in creating the image. #Maplesoft
That really is a photo of a 1990s-era Maple install disk in the background 😁. There is some information as to why in https://www.maplesoft.com/mapleconference/2023/art/PDFs/MCAG23-Sunder-Raj.pdf
Frank FarrisToday I am 25,000 days old! In June I’ll complete my 40th year at Santa Clara University and my 6th year as the Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. I make mathematical art, starting with concepts from smooth function spaces, such as Fourier series. My book Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns from Princeton was my attempt to summarize my career, but new things keep popping up! Lately I’ve been thinking about the very old topic of color wheels. I’ve ordered this robe from Print All Over Me to submit for the Bridges Fashion Show this summer. #introduction #bridgesmathart #colorwheelwednesday. Thanks to @gwenbeads for encouraging me to be here!
