Mathematics and mathematical visualizations are meaningful at many scientific and technological levels. They are also an endless source of inspiration for artists. The following artworks are part of the 12-30 project – one mathematical image a day for one year, 12 mathematical visualization software, January 1st, 2015 – December 31, 2015. The 365 images portfolio is available at https://jcdigitaljournal.wordpress.com/ and a printed compilation of the work will be available in the coming months at Hermay.org

Artworks

03 - Poincaré’s “Pas de deux”. The Poincare disk is a model for hyperbolic geometry in which a line is represented as an arc of a circle whose ends are perpendicular to the disk's boundary. From an original script by Eric W. Weisstein based on a program by Matthew Cook for Wolfram-Mathematica.

02 - Unfolding polytope. The bitruncated 5-cell is a 4-dimensional polytope. The vertices of the truncated 5-cell can also be constructed on a hyperplane in 5-space. From an original script by Jeff Weeks for his geometry and topology software.
