Euclid’s Kiss, Geometric Sculpture of mathematician and sculptor George Hart, September, October 2013. Artwork, Bathysphere by George Hart. The Bathysphere was a unique spherical deep sea submersible which was unpowered and lowered into the ocean on a cable. #MathArt #MathSky #Mathematics

This #BlackHistoryMonth I’ve been looking at the origins of African American crafts. The pattern in the first picture is inspired by Kente cloth. The cube design is based on the zigzag pattern often seen in African art. #mathsky #mathart #mathematicalart

OK, it's no solar eclipse, but I did manage to get some video of the moon occluding Mars tonight... (Video is running at 8x speed)

Some prints arrived today that I am excited to show off: Four knots and four finishes! Trefoil Knot in Brass Quatrefoil Knot in 14k Gold Plated Brass Cinquefoil Knot in Rose Gold Plated Brass Septoil Knot in Silver Buy at hanusadesign.com #mathjewelry #MathSky #knottheory #geekchic #nycfashion

Final restock of Orbicular Geode Puzzles for the holidays! Lots to choose from right now n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/generat...

🌊 Our new Patreon-exclusive puzzle is inspired by Hokusai’s The Great Wave! Using a technique we call "flip cutting," it’s double-sided with pieces laser-cut from both sides for an extra challenge. Patrons get experimental puzzles like this 3x a year. Join us: patreon.com/nervoussystem

Jewelry sale prices at Differential Geometry are still in effect! Orders to the US placed in the next few days will ship this week, and should arrive in time for the holidays. I warmly invite you to drop by and browse! #MathArt #Jewelry

Although Differential Geometry (online shop) is my primary income, my mission includes education and outreach. The math blog connects shop designs to underlying mathematics, with pictures, animations, and what I hope are friendly explanations. diffgeom.com/blogs/about-... #MathSky #MathArt

There are a couple of recent additions to my list of online math shops. Please do support independent artists, designers, and craftspeople, both now as you gift shop for 2024, and in the future! #MathSky #MathArt #SciArt

A thumbnail-sized blossom from my neighbor's yard. UV light itself is invisible, but it excites the tissues in some plants to produce their own internal glow. The light is not merely reflected, but created by the plant itself. 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘢 𝘹 𝘥𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 '𝖧𝖺𝗂𝗋 𝗅𝗂𝗄𝖾 𝖥𝗅𝗈𝖼𝗄 𝗈𝖿 𝖲𝖾𝖺𝗀𝗎𝗅𝗅𝗌'

A limited number of jewelry seconds at Differential Geometry need and deserve good homes, and are priced to sell with discounts of 40 to 60%. In most cases, a piece's contours diverge slightly from the mathematical ideal. diffgeom.com/collections/... #MathArt #MathSky #Jewelry

"Phosphene" is a simple truchet tile toy I wrote in 2012. Click a tile to rotate it a quarter-turn, or use the buttons at bottom to rotate specified groups of tiles; the array size (4x4-32x32) and several colors/tile patterns can be selected: diffgeom.org/software/Pho... #MathSky #MathArt #Truchet

Spent the morning photographing our Radiozoa jewelry…hoping to launch them tomorrow!

I’m so excited to share Radiozoa: a jewelry collection inspired by the microscopic skeletons of radiolaria. The forms are algorithmically generated and cast in sterling silver or brass from 3D-printed wax. I hope you love them as much as I do! available now: n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/line.ph... #sciart

"May the coming year bring you peace and beauty." I designed, ordered, and packed these cards in October. Today the sentiment feels both naively optimistic and urgently necessary. diffgeom.com/products/win... #MathSky #MathArt

"Wisp" earrings at Differential Geometry model the surface swept by "helicoidally" moving a sine wave: Translate the graph x=sin(z) along the z-axis at unit speed while revolving at unit angular speed about the z-axis. diffgeom.com/products/wis... #MathSky #3dPrinting #Jewelry

A quick hello to my new followers.👋 I turn mathematical ideas into wearable art!💍I design #mathjewelry using computational software, bringing them to life through a 3D printing process (SLS nylon or lost-wax casting). Visit hanusadesign.com to see the full collection. #MathSky #mathart

Not math, but site (bsky) community: A mutual follower, active in #MathSky, who had written of race and safety concerns, vanished overnight. Can't know what happened without asking them, but on its face this is disturbing, and arguably should concern us all, now. Thoughts, advice?
