It would have been nice in this course to visit the Museum of Math in New York, which
does a fantastic job in visualizing some aspects of mathematics. Here is from a visit from
December 9th 2024:
Regina presenting about "Harmonic Precision: The Mathematics of Piano Tuning"
Kevin presenting about "Visualization of the rental Harmony problem".
Alejandro presenting about "Mathematics in Art"
Yuankang presenting about "Modeling of a Business Schedule"
Michelle presenting about "Can one hear the shape of a violin?"
James presenting about "geodesics in networks"
The course as an excuse to play again with Lego. Building the Escher stairs:
In unit 8, we looked at the AI landscape.
In unit 7, we look at raytracing. Four of 113 slides.
In unit 6, we look at networks
In unit 5, we look at 3D printing
In unit 4 we look at the math and practice of 3D scanning through personal stories
and real scanning.
In unit 3 (165 slides) we looked at photographic topics: classifying cameras, structure
of motion, panorama photography. We especially tried to visualize the homology sphere
of Poincare using a 360 degree camera.
In unit 2 (100 slides) we looked at visualization of surfaces using various techniques
like Povray, Mathematica, online tools, Stereographic projection, AI.
In unit 1 we looked more at the concept of numbers and how to visualize them.
In unit 0 we looked at the overall topics, the motivation why we want to
visualize mathematics and brain storm about what topics to work on.
