Can you find the Sigma?
#mathober #mathober2025

Today is notation.

For code - I did Q.E.D: codepen.io/fractalkitty...
A brewers blackbird with a black iridescent body and yellow eye on a twig in the water. The legs reflected make a sigma symbol. The water is blues and browns smeared color with a slightly smeared reflection.

Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca) at Ankeny Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.

I love their calls in the sloughs.

What is their collective noun?
A 5 panel collection of greater yellowlegs preening. The first image on the left is tall and long and is a close-up of the head. There are four images on the right that are stacked from top to bottom where the bird is pruning under than over than front then wing. The water is gray with random twigs and leaves showing through.

poignant words on a last enfolding of nature. a loss that my own heart knows each time that it happens here. and in this moment, this presence, is the remembrance of life: growing upward, spreading outward. the providence, blessing, and grace that have flowed into so many.

Not sure if I'll get all my mathober done today. I took a moment to write and process:

Today's Mathober - partial sum.

I also did a p5 sketch: codepen.io/fractalkitty...

#mathober #mathober2025 #creativeCoding #birdart #mathart #mtbos #cantor #partialsums
A pileated woodpecker sits at the base of a tree that has a cantor set excavated, where the lines for the cantor set ar vertically drawn by long excavation trenches. The bird has a bright red cap and is making eye contact with the viewer. There is partial bark at the edges of the tree and grass on the ground.

The #illustratingMath Seminar Online returns on Friday, October 10th, 9 am Pacific / 12 pm Eastern / 6 pm Europe. @3blue1brown.com will be "Exploring Zeta Function Visualizations." Gabriel and Jim will provide some "Show and Ask" input. See you online on Friday!
A dark-themed event poster titled "EXPLORING ZETA FUNCTION VISUALIZATIONS." The poster includes an abstract about visualizing the Riemann Zeta function. A colorful, three-dimensional plot of a mathematical function dominates the right side. The bottom features a circular photo of the presenter, Grant Sanderson from 3Blue1Brown. The event is scheduled for Friday, October 10, with times listed, and will be held on Zoom.

Today's mathober is "digraph sink"

All these paths seem to lead to a flicker.

I did a p5js sketch as well: codepen.io/fractalkitty...

#mathober #mathober2025 #birds #birdart
A flicker perches on a birch branch that splits of into the sunlight so that all branches lead to the flicker looking at the sun. There is a circular smeared sky that goes from light to darker edges.

Clemson has been designated a National Monarch Butterfly City, and there is a public art installation of 20 fiberglass butterflies all around town.

Look closely, one of them appears to have some hidden mathematics on its underside! #IllustratingMath #Mathober
Public art installation from the Butterfly Project in Clemson, SC Public art installation from the Butterfly Project in Clemson, SC. From the QR code: “…textile art to represent both our home in the Blue Ridge foothills and the end point of the monarch's sojourn in Central Mexico. The left wing is inspired by the Tenango, the traditional embroidery work of the Otomi people. The right wing shows a Cherokee seven point star quilt pattern, representing southern Appalachia's rich quilting history, as well as the indigenous influences upon the art form. In both cultures, such large and detailed textiles often involve family or community members working on a single piece together, making them symbols of cooperation and unity.” Public art installation from the Butterfly Project in Clemson, SC Public art installation from the Butterfly Project in Clemson, SC, with the butterfly lemma hidden on its underside!

Meet Wilbur.
A Cooper’s hawk walking on a fence facing left with one leg up, looking down with very big eyes. The wings are partially up and a very tense and serious walk. There is greenery in the background, a heavy, even yet and some desaturation in the photo.
