Geometry - Blog Posts

Just started differential geometry, I'm starting to understand the appeal

I need to know you favourite geometric shape and why

I do wish they made names for other higher dimensional shapes and didn't stop at 4-polytopes because that would be sick.

'Polychoron' is the best name to be given to 4 Dimensional Polytopes, and none of the others could ever come close to it; Its competitors, 'Polycell' and 'Polyhedroid' could only ever hope to come close to it.

'Polycell' is too bland and has no imagination, it's like if we called Polyhedrons 'Polyfaces' and Polygons 'Polylines;' It's clear that whoever came up with this name just didn't care.

'Polyhedroid' is just too derivative, clearly being a play on 'Polyhedron;' Imagine living in a world where Polyhedrons are called 'Polygonoids' and Polygons are called 'Polylinoids' or some shit.

'Polychoron' is so much better than any of that; It's completely original, rolls off the tongue and, in my opinion, sounds cool as fuck.

Hello, Tumblr, I am here now.

when i have trig homework but im watching movies and writing fanfic instead

Made a cardboard octahedron with gears in all its faces, this is especial because with other figures the gears would not be able to turn while like this they can.

Octo gear by Static Box

This is an idea I had, if you attach gears to every face of an octahedron, they would spin correctly while this wouldn't work with a cube, pyramid or others.

Geometry at work: Maxwell, Escher and Einstein

Maxwell’s diagram

from the 1821 “A Philosophical Magazine”, showing the rotative vortexes of electromagnetic forces, represented by hexagons and the inactive spaces between them

The impossible cube

invented in 1958, as an inspiration for his Belvedere litography.

Geometry of space-time

The three dimensions of space and the dimension of time give shape to the fourth, that of space-time.

Geometry apps!

I have stumble upon some of the neatest apps, for a person like me that love geometry, these apps are just what I’ve been looking for!

Euclidea:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id927914361 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hil_hk.euclidea This app is only Euclidean geometry, that’s what I like the most. Appinfo: Euclidea is a brilliantly original way to learn about, explore and have fun with Euclidian Constructions! Your task is to solve interesting challenges by building geometric constructions with a straightedge and compass. If you design the most elegantly simple solutions in the least number of moves, you’ll earn the highest scores. Solutions are scored in lines (L) and elementary Euclidean constructions (E).

XSection:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xsection/id1069933287?mt=8 Haven’t found it on Android yet, but this app aims to learn you about Polyhedrons, cross sections and geometry. Appinfo: Learn how to construct cross sections of polyhedrons. Study different techniques, train yourself, and then solve geometric puzzles. 

Pythagorea:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pythagorea-geometry-on-square/id994864779?mt=8 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hil_hk.pythagorea&hl=sv Just found this game, so I paste the appinfo: Pythagorea is a collection of geometric puzzles of different kind that can be solved without complex constructions or calculations. All objects are drawn on a grid whose cells are squares. A lot of levels can be solved using just your geometric intuition or by finding natural laws, regularity, and symmetry. 

Pythagorea60:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pythagorea-60-geometry-on/id1043064990?mt=8 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hil_hk.pythagorea60&hl=sv Just found this game, so I paste the appinfo: Pythagorea 60° is a collection of more than 270 geometric problems of different kind that can be solved without complex constructions or calculations. All objects are drawn on a grid whose cells are equilateral triangles. A lot of levels can be solved using just your geometric intuition or by finding natural laws, regularity, and symmetry. 

Horis International Limited

All these games are made from the same developer, Horis International Limited:  IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/developer/horis-international-limited/id646324304 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=HORIS+INTERNATIONAL+LIMITED Big up, love this!

Merry Christmas with geometry!

Blocking out a Scene

There once was a shape a square, geometric Who wanted to escape a dull life he wished was more hectic. He felt in his family, that he was the dumb dunce No social circle to speak of, not even a circumference

His Square parents, (in both meanings of the phrase) they were that shape and painfully un-hip, Decided that maybe he had to get aways and take some sort of learning trip It was the only way they could think to ease some of the tensions Father square to mother, "He's always been angle-ling to get away and discover his true dimensions!" Though as a block he was fairly sturdy his mother insisted he keep warm You know how maternal shapes do worry "Make sure you wear something to match your form!" The whole family saw him off on that Rhom-Bus "I wonder," said his rectangle sister,"will he even miss us?" Choosing some coordinates so far away but keeping the location discrete for certain The block looked back at his family, as if to say I will come back a far more rounded person And what came with this new sense of space Love triangles and some right angles in the wrong place Some errors were made, mostly directional Life can hit you with these types of surprises He realised that he was indeed bisection-al and loved things in all shapes and sizes and in his mind, the words of his family he could hear 'em "You still must prove yourself as a trusted theorum!" He lost his virginity to an acute triangle who smoked a lot of hypot, was real bad nuse the opposite of his next romantic entangle was an algebra-burning mathematical muse He didn't contact his family, he really didn't give a damn Only once every few months, would they receive a cursory parallelogram He had a few part time but big enough gigs Mostly in text books hanging out with some graphs You might have seen him as some numbered Figs He made some cash and had some laughs So for a few years this simple country rube Expanded his horizons and became a cube He wrote a letter to his family one night and hoped they wouldn't be too critical He decided to give paper up and have a bit more byte "Mom, dad, your block son has gone digital!" "I'll be working very closely with new people  you can really bet this, Tomorrow guys I'm trying out for some new game named Tetris!"

This is the final presentation of this work btw.

CRISPY TRIANGLES WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE – Denise Ippolito

let's go 2025 ! MoD-happyNewYear

Love this style!

I played HyperRogue over a year ago and I've been obsessed with hyperbolic geometry ever since (despite having absolutely no formal education in the subject and next to no understanding of the actual math behind it all), send help

Vivien Collens, Froebel’s Gifts: Blue Circuit, 2018. Courtesy of the artist.

Vivien’s "broken cube" sculptural motif is an ode to Fröbel's Gifts. The cube is a module that enables Collens to explore her aesthetic ideas in an active, hands-on manner that combines guided and spontaneous artistic processes. "Broken cube" is a key component of Collens’ "Froebels Gifts" sculpture series (2017-ongoing). The title of the collective body of work references processes and products associated with Fröbel and his active learning methodologies.

On the Artfully Learning Audio Series, Vivien and I discuss her work within the context of education, specifically the influence of Friedrich Fröbel, a eighteenth century educational reformer who is notable for developing the first modern kindergartens.

Sol Lewitt, Geometric Shapes Within Geometric Shapes 1979 

Two recent commissions for The Drake Hotel in Toronto Canada. They're both chalk pastels on chalkboards. First is of Rosedale subway station and second is Eglinton West Station. These two are joining the previous two in the dining and bar area. :D

Thank you very much for the opportunity and the support! :D:D

Drake Hotel Artist Interview

Lawrence West Station #2 2019, Oil on Wood 11" x 14" I recommend checking this subway station if you get a chance to go to Toronto. The architect that designed this station designed quite a few of the stations in Toronto Canada. It has a really nice industrial vibe to it and the lighting that it gets during the summer is gorgeous.
