Professor Strang gave his last Linear Algebra lecture today after 66 years at MIT.
Strang was among the first to upload his classes to MIT OpenCourseWare when it first came online in the early 2000s. His 18.06 lectures have been viewed millions of times around the world
So proud of my coauthors Rob Klock and Xiaoyoun Gong who did an amazing job presenting our work at Bridges 2022! (Thanks to @cubes_art for the photos!)
Textured TSP Art of Vincent van Gogh on the occasion of his birthday (March 30, 1853). Joint work with Rob Klock @KlockRob. (We obtained the tour with the marvelous Concorde TSP Solver.) #vincentvangogh#mathart#orms
“Monster Mash” lenticular dice mosaic (660 d6s). Designed with integer programming #orms. (I finally carved out the time to glue the dice to the frame that Rob Klock and his father built for me last summer.)
I think if they made a Succession where it was about them finding ways to be kind to each other, it would be the best show on TV….but no one would watch it

“Monster Mash” lenticular dice mosaic (660 dice). When we view it from the right, we see Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula, while from the left we see Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s monster. The mosaic was designed with integer programming (@gurobi). The frame was built by Rob Klock.
Four TSP tours of the same point set. In what ways are they the same? How do they differ? (Joint work with Rob Klock @KlockRob. TSP tours via the Concorde TSP Solver's implementation of the Lin-Kernighan heuristic.) #mathart#orms
The beloved children’s book illustrator Eric Carle has died at age 91.
On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, Ashley Fetters explored why his classic, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar,’ is both a product of its late-1960s origins and also totally timeless. https://t.co/8m0Qm4Uj2S
For my last final at Oberlin my classmate Griffin Cappelletti and I worked on generating TSP art with “textures”. We made use of a modified Euclidian distance formula to encourage the tour to travel horizontally or vertically. Shoutout to @baabbaash for being an awesome professor
