Here's your chance to learn about some #illustratingMath while going through the lovely #MathArt by @mathzorro.bsky.social. Give the talk a watch!
This talk was given on September 12 in the New York Combinatorics Seminar. Here's a link to the recording. youtu.be/BX6VkFHwn-g?...

I can highly recommend the #pod. Cool and insightful conversations and great content overall, featuring @steckl.es and @peterrowlett.net among others.
Did you know TMiP has a podcast, in which maths communicators share ideas, thoughts and stories about how to communicate maths well? All six episodes of our first series are online at https://tmip.uk/podcast

The second talk is by Stepan Paul, who tells us about "Topological Origami: Beyond the Paper Donut."🍩Flat tori are known, but what about a flat Klein Bottle? Stepan shows us a first prototype (that fails at six points ) as well as a corrected model that's on the arxiv arxiv.org/abs/2504.08826.

Starting the #illustratingMath talks at the @icerm.bsky.social today is Elliot Kienzle, who aims to settle the question how "To draw a torus." Like all good answers, his is based on differential geometry, taking the geometry of the torus into account when drawing. And Escher's there, too😄

This is a photo of a tree that fell on campus during a summer storm. I wonder if there's an interesting conversation we could have with multivariable calculus students about tree rings. Tree rings are level curves. What's the function? What does the gradient vector tell us? Etc.

Thanks @gelada.bsky.social for your thought-provoking talk this morning! I appreciated many parts including where you discussed two different ways in which mathematical artists might approach artwork - create rules that must be followed to make art or use math as inspiration in the artistic process.

2nd day / 1st keynote / Bridges #Mathart is by @gelada.bsky.social, speaking about "Genuine Pretending: A Philosophy for Mathematics and Art." He shares with us what good comes out of following one practice (e.g. #math) as if it were another (e.g. #art).

It was a great first day of the Bridges conference. Rinus Roelofs gave the opening plenary talk about duality and polyhedra. Outside the room, there were some examples and build-your-own objects. Outside the building was one of his sculptures (in photo: Chaim Goodman-Strauss and Edmund Harriss.

Thinking about upgrading this to include "Normalize giving students problems they don't yet have the tools to solve."

Being able to recognize that is a very important, and under-valued, skill.
