#MathArtMarch Day 2: On a Square Grid
Here are 41 superellipses on a rotated square grid. Part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements.

A while back, @gwenbeads posted about the book “A Stitch in Line: Mathematics and One-Stitch Sashiko” by Katherine Seaton, and it was so relevant to my interests I had to get hold of it. I’ve been working through it ever since, stitching the samplers and playing with the maths.
I’m currently paused at the end of chapter 8 as I wait for new thread (Retors d’Alsace!!!) to arrive for the next sampler. Here’s a photo of all my samplers so far, done on my hand-dyed muslin scraps; my plan is to patchwork them all together into a hanging once I’ve finished.
Gwen’s review of the book is in a paywalled journal, but she’s put a link to free copies (of the review, not the book) here: https://mathstodon.xyz/@gwenbeads/114094206288896863
And for #TilingTuesday this simple #tiling with ellipse arcs.

Fractal of equilateral triangles, and the rule for producing it. For each triangle, 6 triangles of side length 2/5 are generated. All stages are superimposed, using different colours.

Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father’s library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. 1/n

#MathArtMarch Day 1: Circle
Here are 190 ellipses in a circular pattern. Part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements.

Because I got a late start on #MathArtMarch, I am going to extend my posts into April.

These videos show the IFS processes, drawing interpolations between stages for smoothness.

What happens when there is a process which straightens curves and simultaneously curves straight lines? This IFS shows it (in fact there are two versions, one grows outwards and the other inwards). Third image shows the rules applied. For videos see continuation.
