The Math Kid

Recreational mathematician. Grew up a math nerd and consider the subject a major part of my identity. Fascinated by just about everything. Here's hoping this blog will open me up to some more creative outlets. That might be good for me at this juncture in my life :)

Proof without words of the convergence of the series above.

Mathematics is beautiful. <3

Roll two fair n-sided die. The expected value of the max of your two rolls is approximately 4/3 times the expected value of any single roll. Do with this what you will.

I’m having a blasty-bast with Group Explorer today. How have I never played with this before!?

Complex analysis - the perfect subject for combining visual and analytic thinking. I just read “Visual Complex Analysis” by Tristan Needham, a basic book on complex analysis: lots of historical references, uncompromising explanations, lots of problem solving and plenty of beautiful illustrations!

I have this book. It is very good.

This one is based on the hirschhorn tiling.

[szimmetria-airtemmizs]

This is still one of my favorite tilings. In the center you can see a regular 18-gon that is divided into 18 pentagons. The shape of the pentagons are the same, only the color changes.

Had this video suggested to me by http://pebblinator.tumblr.com/ and it is really cool if you’re like me and have no previous understanding of 4D!

The sea. 

Each color is a sine function. The height is constant because sin(t+0*2*pi/5 )+ sin(t+1*2*pi/5)+sin(t+2*2*pi/5)+sin(t+3*2*pi/5)+sin(t+4*2*pi/5)=0 for all t value.    

In a column the i-th segment have length sin(t+i*2*pi/5)+1, so the height is always 5.
