Have a look at our article "on the importance of Illustration for Mathematical Research." We argue that #illustratingMath not only has a positive aspect for communication of #Math results, but also for the #Research process itself. If you want to collaborate on this, hit me up!

[ICERM @ICERM]

In "On the Importance of Illustration for Mathematical Research," alumni from ICERM's Fall 2019 Illustrating Mathematics program emphasize the historical importance and growing potential of mathematical visualization for @amermathsoc 'Notices'!

Tomorrow, Friday, October 9th, we will have our next #illustratingMath seminar online at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 6pm Central Europe. Things will be slightly different than usual: Instead of Show&Ask and a talk, we will have a panel on "The Role of Illustration." Tune in!

It took more than 3,000 emails, close to 80 hours of work, and turned further hairs white, but it is great to finally hold the printed proceedings from this year's @BridgesMathart conference in hand! Kudos to Eve Torrence (managing editor), the other editors, and the authors!

Here's Tristan Buckmaster's statement. (You've probably seen bits of it quoted here today, but the whole thing is worth reading.)

@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R Congratulations!

[Steven Strogatz @stevenstrogatz]

Joel David Hamkins @JDHamkins, the John Cardinal O’Hara Professor of Logic in the Department of Philosophy at Notre Dame University, is the winner of the AFM prize for excellence in exposition of mathematics to a popular audience. Prof. Hamkins has written many mathematics books for popular audiences, and he has also been the top-ranked user on MathOverflow since 2010, where he has written almost 2000 posts (with over 5.8 million views).

The last talk for today is by Fahreddin Basegmez, who tells us about "Symmetries of Prime Factors." (https://t.co/8Io7cTeRpW) He presents a fascinating zoo of intricate #MathArt shape assemblies. (3/3)

[Dr. Martin Skrodzki @msmathcomp]

The second session in the afternoon at the @BridgesMathart conference starts with Tuan Dung Do, who speaks about "Visual Illusions in the Hyperbolic Plane." (https://t.co/Ytix60c4bD) Some illusions might work better with their tool: https://t.co/35Jt6CWFyz (1/3)ti

[Dr. Martin Skrodzki @msmathcomp]

Next, Loe Feijs tells us about "Visual Representation of Inhibition for Phyllotaxis." (https://t.co/nNSmOGrFNn) A fascinating journey, starting from Fibonacci Numbers and sunflower shapes, taking us all the way to the "Inhibiscus" shape. (2/3)

[Dr. Martin Skrodzki @msmathcomp]

Short paper session in the afternoon at the @BridgesMathart conference has:
Marta Kopyt "Math through books", Gary Lester "Art as Math Representation", David Reimann "LEGO to communicate Math", and Chris John "Making Kolam Accessible". Wonderful ideas for playful #MathArt.

[Dr. Martin Skrodzki @msmathcomp]

The second plenary talk is by Claire Moriarty, who speaks about "Semiotics, Ease, and Elegance: Oliver Byrne’s Elements of Euclid." (https://t.co/ZGqQvz0dvp) It is wonderful to learn about the (historical) background of this famous and richly illustrated book. (2/2)

[Dr. Martin Skrodzki @msmathcomp]

The first plenary talk at the @BridgesMathart conference today is by children’s book author Amy Alznauer. (https://t.co/r2lKxhMaiu) She wrote a book on Ramanujan and has a new one on Marjorie Rice, which looks great! You can find it here:

The final activity for this day at the @BridgesMathart conference is the "Formal Music Night". It is led by "The Irish Dance Experience" and takes place in the wonderful Quadrangle Building of the Galway University campus. We get to try a Céilí and a Riverdance. Great fun!

[Dr. Martin Skrodzki @msmathcomp]

The third and final talk of the day is given by Robin Houston, who is looking into the mathematics of designing "Caltrops". (https://t.co/HWCWYz3V6D) He shows us a surprising variety of 3D-printed caltrops. (3/3)

[Dr. Martin Skrodzki @msmathcomp]

The first talk in the second afternoon session at the @BridgesMathart conference is by Henriette Lipschütz, Ulrich Reitebuch, and me, speaking about our paper "Borromean Braid Crossings from the Triaxial Grid." (https://t.co/6cu6dxKtbP) Happy to answer questions on this. (1/3)

[Dr. Martin Skrodzki @msmathcomp]

The second talk is by Sabetta Matsumoto, "On the Group Structure of 'Magic' Leatherworking Braids." (https://t.co/usX4bPcsjI) She teaches us how to create magic braids ourselves (which, even with instructions, is surprisingly challenging). (2/3)
