I've been making plots of the sets of roots of some polynomials. They look more interesting than I'd expected! And I've been making sounds from them, too. I have a bunch on this page of my website (I'll probably be adding more). Click on the images to embiggen them, and if you're in a hurry, the last sound on the page is the most catchy. https://www.madandmoonly.com/doctormatt/sound/littlewoodPolynomials/

A now a message from the Society for the Protection of Polynomials.

Hi! We at the Society for the Protection of Polynomials remind you that factoring a polynomial is not a harmless operation. Whenever you factor a polynomial, you are causing untold damage to it.

Don't factor polynomials.

Keep them whole.

This was a message from the Society for the Protection of Polynomials.

🤓 Ah yes, the riveting tale of #Lagrange Interpolating Polynomials—a math nerd’s wet dream! 📈 Just what the internet needs: *another* 5000-word novel on fitting curves to dots! 🤯 Because who doesn’t love a good bedtime story about polynomial coefficients? 🙄

#Noisevember! I revisited the Littlewood polynomial sound from day 2 of Noisevember. I thought to investigate a different sort of polynomial. Here, instead of polynomials with coefficients all ±1, the polynomials have coefficient ±1/(n+1) on the x^n term. As before, all roots of all such 15th degree polynomials are considered. (I really should create a gallery of these root plots so we can easily compare them.) Along the way, I realized I was making an error with the way I created "random" stereo that introduced a bunch of unneeded noise. So that's something! I'll have to go back and replace the Littlewood polynomial sound. https://soundcloud.com/matthew-m-conroy/out-keep1

Here's a plot of the roots (essentially the spectrogram of the sound).

Hi fam, have a fulfilling weekend! Some joker marked my account, e.g. this post about #polynomials & #calculus, which is a textbook example of #inclusion, as spam. This is incredibly unfair; So I'm asking you to share this: bsky.app/profile/paul... (w #ALText) as a protest. #education #mathematics

Galois Groups and the Symmetries of Polynomials | Quanta Magazinee

By focusing on relationships between solutions to polynomial equations, rather than the exact solutions themselves, Évariste Galois changed the course of modern mathematics.
