#bridgesmathart — Public Fediverse posts

Day 3 and 4 of #BridgesMathArt just sped by and it's so hard to pick highlights 😅

Talking with people certainly takes the crown tho; so many ideas sparkling in just a bit of conversation!

Also, I found the presentation on Oliver Byrne by Clare Marie Moriarity very curious, with Byrne's multi-faceted interests (e.g. music, theology, math) and focus on making math accessible and memorable so far ago in his work on Euler's Elements.

I'm at #BridgesMathArt for the next few days. A huge programme. https://www.bridgesmathart.org/b2026/bridges-2026-program/

Several of the papers/workshops for Bridges 2026 in Galway feature origami.

The full programme is not yet available, but all papers are at https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026

Here are the direct links; some papers have origami instructions to follow (or they are in a supplement)

@th @mcc Yes, and a fascinating story about “Marjorie Rice and Her Pentagonal Tilings” by Doris Schattschneider http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2018/bridges2018-1.pdf
“The large pentagonal tiles that pave the way to the entrance of the Tekniska Museet in Stockholm may appear to be randomly placed. But they are not; they follow a definite but unusual pattern. Also unusual is the history of how the tiling came to be, and who discovered it. Marjorie Rice, who was not a professional mathematician, discovered this tiling while pursuing for years her self-assigned task of finding all types of convex pentagons that can tile the plane.”

My dyed bandana from the #BridgesMathArt workshop ‘Dyeing to Make an Orbifold’ by Bobby Stecher and Carolyn Yackel https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2024/bridges2024-545.html Looks great but still running blue dye weeks later…

About 4 years ago, I was messing around with this pattern. A simplified form eventually ended up being used in the chain maille piece that I had in the Bridges Art Exhibition this year.

It consists of edge-touching rings of edge-touching nonagons

In the center, you can see a ring surrounded by a ring of 6 rings surrounded by 12 and then 18

It has rotational, but not mirror symmetry, even though it might look like it should.
