After listening to the Mathematical Objects podcast I recorded a few weeks ago, @TeaKayB has delved further into the mathematics of a guitar string. It's a fascinating listen, well worth ten minutes of your time - check it out!

Attached: 1 audio @aperiodical So I recorded this as a response/further exploration to some of what Sam said in the #podcast. 10 minutes of me jabbering, occasionally punctuated with the plucking of a guitar string. A couple of points before anyone listens: 1. Listen to the #MathematicalObjects #guitar episode before this, or you won't have a lot of context for it. 2. My #physics terminology and explanations may not be entirely up to snuff. This is partly because I'm submitting and trying not to use too much specialist vocab, and partly because I haven't studied physics formally for many a year. 3. This is not endorsed by the #Aperiodical, Katie or Peter, but I did run it past Sam before posting! #maths #mathematics

In a recent episode of the #MathematicalObjects podcast, @sam_hartburn chats about the #guitar as a source of #maths & #mathematical intrigue. I was inspired to take part of what she said a little further: https://mathstodon.xyz/@TeaKayB/110876357639740309

As a (very amateur) #guitarist this #MathematicalObjects #podcast episode appeals to me: https://aperiodical.com/2023/07/mathematical-objects-guitar-with-sam-hartburn/

(It also appeals to me as a (very amateur) #mathematician, but that probably goes without saying.

Mathematical Objects: Guitar with Sam Hartburn

A conversation about mathematics inspired by a guitar. Presented by Katie Steckles and Peter Rowlett, with special guest Sam Hartburn.

The Aperiodical

The other day I was watching some math videos on YouTube.

One struck out to me and I would love to listen to an #MathematicalObjects episode by @peterrowlett and friends about it:

Tensegrity Structures.

They have something magical to them but make sense if you inspect them.
Now, I wonder whether there is math behind it that aids with discovering more shapes given those constraints.
