Basically just visual demonstrations of how awesome math is.
I made an observatory program after experimenting with volumes of particles. Have fun!
Graveyard Dancing: Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855)
Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics
- At just ten years old, his abilities were made apparent after his teacher asked the class to add all numbers from 1-100, as a way to keep them occupied for a while. Gauss correctly answered 5050 almost…
Play in the Particle Plaza! 5000 little particles to throw around and bend to your will!
Beautiful. If you can’t see the elegance of this, I only wish you could. It ties together the imaginary number, the exponential, pi, 1 and 0. The imaginary number is derived out of necessity in algebra. The exponential number was invented for calculus for logarithmic and exponential functions, pi is essential in tying together geometry, and 1 and 0 are……well, everything. This equation ties together algebra, calculus, geometry, and basic numerology. And it was DISCOVERED. Not invented. That should say something, about the nature of numbers and math to who we are. Math has an unreasonable amount of utility in this universe, especially for something that we essentially INVENTED out of our own heads.

If you’ve heard of fractals before, you’ve probably seen Sierpinski triangles and fractals that look like ferns or leaves. This animation shows how these two pictures and various other fractals are linked. The pictures are generated using Iterated Function Systems, which take a starting point then repeatedly either rotate it about a point, or move it closer to another point. By changing the angle of the rotation, you get all these different pictures. In general this method can get you all kinds of cool fractals.

Fractalicious v1.2 is out!
You can now play it in-browser as long as you have Java installed (you probably do, don’t worry)
Change log:
+ Fractalicious v1.2 (9/27/2011)
- Color Schemes
- Custom Cursors
- Full Options menu
- The Anti-Buddhabrot (mysterious!)
- Mouse-smoothing
-edit- v1.1!
Just programmed a great fractal sandbox, free! (PC Download only though, sorry)
Leave comments! I love comments! :D
Take 3 renderings, assign them R, G, B values, and combine them. Hello, Nebulabrot!
Buddhabrot02 on Flickr.
Just programmed this tonight. Had some help from some sample code and Google of course. Getting a random Index out of bounds error on every render though :\ gotta find that bug and smash it!
Ils brandiront leurs idoles
