CBC OttawaMathematician uses traffic camera footage to create art
Martin Brooks, a former hedge fund mathematician, moved to the visual arts field more than a decade ago. He creates art pieces using a combination of software he developed plus City of Ottawa traffic camera footage. His first exhibition, Quiet City, showcases more than 30 prints that offer a unique view of familiar city streets. Doug Hempstead, CBC Ottawa's traffic reporter, went to the ...

Dr. Kirsten D. DzwizaMeton - Virtual Mechanical Moon and #Eclipse #Calculator
This awesome tool was created by prof. em. Thomas Weibel from Basel, Switzerland. Here is the beginning of the description from the website:
"The metonic cycle is a period of 19 years corresponding to almost exactly 235 synodic lunar months or full cycles of #moon phases, named after meton of athens, a greek #mathematician and #astronomer from the 5th century bc."
I love it :-)
Ele Willoughby, PhDHappy birthday to #mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017)! The Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious #math awards, is awarded to mathematicians < 40. In 2014, she became 1st woman to win. Her research included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, & symplectic geometry, and Fields committee cited her work in “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces”.

Happy birthday #mathematician Henri Poincaré
(1854-1912), here in my Cubist #linocut portrait.
This print is about how movements in art can be connected with contemporary #math & #physics. Specifically, the way Cubism breaks from a single favoured perspective or absolute frame of reference & breaks down subjects into geometrical shapes from multiple points of view can be tied to advancements in non-Euclidian geometry in math & 🧵
Happy birthday to British #engineer, #mathematician, #physicist & #inventor Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923). I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).
Born Phoebe Sarah Marks, she was the 3rd 🧵

Happy birthday to #mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925). This is a hand-carved and hand-printed image of the famous mathematical object, the Klein bottle, printed in a gradient of pale yellow-green to darker blue-green on paper 8” by 8” (20.3 cm by 20.3 cm). First described by mathematician Felix Klein in 1882, this object has a single surface, rather like a 3D version of a Möbius strip. It is what is called a 🧵
