Does anyone know the original source of this animation? I only ask because the album art for Flying Lotus’s “Cosmogramma” appears to have the same origin.
A collection of mathematical fascinations, not strictly limited to the subject itself but also people's interactions and interpretations. My curiosity for the subject is infinite, but I try to stay away from the sciences. The thrill lies in the purity, not the application.

Meh. I rarely find anything interesting to reblog anymore and I lack the motivation and creativity to develop my own content [though there’s about a billion posts I could make about Rubik’s-type puzzles, so you might see those from time to time]. I’m sure there’ll be the occasional posts, but nothing like the 2-year run I had.
Sorry. Thanks for the love, though!
Pet peeve:
Just because you threw a plus sign and an equals sign into something doesn’t make it math. I get really tired of seeing things like “You + Me = Us. My favorite kind of math!!” Stahp.
Challenge:
Find an example of an article of clothing that is not topologically equivalent to a punctured sphere. [I haven’t found one yet, so I’m curious what you all can come up with!]
When I worked at Volvo one summer, there was a multi-page document outlining the mathematics of the Volvo logo and the restrictions on it’s usage. Consistency helps strengthen the brand, I guess.
misterjosephstalinonthedrums asked: What book would you recommend to someone who is in college algebra and wants to be awesome at math (and will have to take a fair bit of calculus down the road)?
I really like the Art of Problem Solving series. It can be challenging at times, but if you can keep up with it, you will kick some serious math butt by the end!
plot-twists asked: You say your curiosity is infinite, but what kind of infinity?
At least aleph-1!
