  7. Meton - Virtual Mechanical Moon and #Eclipse #Calculator

    This awesome tool was created by prof. em. Thomas Weibel from Basel, Switzerland. Here is the beginning of the description from the website:

    "The metonic cycle is a period of 19 years corresponding to almost exactly 235 synodic lunar months or full cycles of #moon phases, named after meton of athens, a greek #mathematician and #astronomer from the 5th century bc."

    I love it :-)

  12. Happy birthday to #mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017)! The Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious #math awards, is awarded to mathematicians < 40. In 2014, she became 1st woman to win. Her research included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, & symplectic geometry, and Fields committee cited her work in “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces”.⁠

  17. Happy birthday #mathematician Henri Poincaré
    (1854-1912), here in my Cubist #linocut portrait.

    This print is about how movements in art can be connected with contemporary #math & #physics. Specifically, the way Cubism breaks from a single favoured perspective or absolute frame of reference & breaks down subjects into geometrical shapes from multiple points of view can be tied to advancements in non-Euclidian geometry in math & 🧵

I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).⁠

This is a hand-carved and hand-printed image of the famous mathematical object, the Klein bottle, printed in a gradient of pale yellow-green to darker blue-green on paper 8” by 8” (20.3 cm by 20.3 cm). First described by mathematician Felix Klein in 1882, this object has a single surface, rather like a 3D version of a Möbius strip. It is what is called a 🧵

This is my #linocut portrait of Claude Shannon (1916-2001), #mathematician, electrical #engineer, computer scientist & cryptographer credited with laying the foundations for the Information Age. It shows him in front of binary numbers & with his electromechanical mouse Theseus & its maze. Though partially behind him, the binary numbers are the standard ASCII code for "CLAUDESHANNON".

  36. 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. Her work on elasticity theory won her the grand prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences. 🧵
