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.

Mathober Day1 - Link

It's also somewhat transparently drawn in a lot of places - so I'm counting it for weird web October as well.

From the interactions on our Discord server (find an invite in www.illustratingmath.org), I can say that at least the #illustratingMath community is extremely welcoming of everyone, including self-taught enthusiasts. Everyone's welcome to join us!

New dice from The Dice Lab (me and Robert Fathauer), which may (?) be useful if you regularly write equations. youtube.com/shorts/fgMox...

Dice with greek letters on the faces, on a sheet of paper with a very long equation on it.

I love these quick illustrations of algorithms, a great example of #illustratingMath, give them a look in case you have not seen them before!

Marcello Seri @mseri.me · 13d

This website has fantastic IKEA-style visualization of algorithms.
Here the quicksort example, idea-instructions.com/quick-sort/, but take some time to explore the others!

KVICK SÖRT

Quicksort is an efficient sorting algorithm based on a divide and conquer approach. Choosing the dividing element at random is a good strategy to avoid bad worst-case runtime.

CMU students and math artist Glen Whitney created “Knight’s Move,” an 8-foot sculpture on Wean Hall’s patio. Representing 288 knight moves on a 3D chessboard, it’s a bold mix of math and art. Check it out this fall!
