And that's a wrap on our #illustratingMath graduate school. Just some time left to quickly grab some merch, note down the last couple of notes on the napkins, grab a bottle of mathematical wine, and the sun sets on Marseille. Thanks to all speakers and participants! (3/4)

The last talk is given by Kate Stange. She tells us about "Math in the visual cortex," presenting a fabulous collection of #illustratingMath examples, quotes, and challenges, from number theory, algebra, and dynamical systems. What a great final talk, thank you, Kate! (2/4)

Final day of the #illustratingMath graduate school at @cirm-math.bsky.social wrapping up the mini-courses #CindyJS/#Shadertoy with circle inversions & ray tracing. A huge thanks to the teachers: Tim Reinhardt, Michael Martin Katzenberger, Chaim Goodman-Strauss, and @stevejtrettel.bsky.social. (1/4)

Next to the daily homework, there are a couple of highlights in the afternoon and evening: We took a group picture with all speakers and participants, had a great Show&Ask session, and enjoyed the special bouillabaisse dinner @cirm-math.bsky.social. What a great #illustratingMath day. (3/3)

The fourth invited talk was given by Slvie Benzoni-Gavage. She takes us on her journey of creating an illustration for the complete map on the three-torus, starting from a 19th-century German article to a 21st-century 3D print and a lovely marquetry realization of the map. (2/3)

For the fourth #illustratingMath day at the @cirm-math.bsky.social graduate school, we continue the mini-courses. In the #CindyJS course, we consider domain coloring to visualize complex functions. In the #Shadertoy course, we solve some PDEs and then render the game of life. (1/3)

The afternoon, unlike the last two days, is not devoted to homework. Instead, participants of the school are free to roam the Calanques National Park. A small group dares to climb Mont Puget, while a larger group tackles a trail along the coast.(3/3)

Today's invited talk was given by Chaim Goodman-Strauss. He spoke about a variety of #illustratingMath projects, from simple constructions with paper, via more involved #3dprint approaches to fractals, to large-scale sculptures of steel. (2/3)

On day 3 of the #illustratingMath graduate school at @cirm-math.bsky.social, we continue the two mini-courses on #CindyJS and #Shadertoy. In the former, we learn how to draw conics (and how to draw them well). In the latter, it's all about hyperbolic tilings. (1/3)

The afternoon is dedicated to "homework" from the mini-courses again. People started over lunch to scribble on napkins, the auditorium is full of concentrated faces staring at their respective screens, and we have our own small gallery of #illustratingMath objects! (3/3)

The invited talk this morning is given by Saul Schleimer. He tells us about "Curves on surfaces or: How I learned to stop worrying and love train-tracks." Not only do we get to learn some #topology, but the talk is carried by beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations. Bravo! (2/3)

On the second day of #illustratingMath at @cirm-math.bsky.social, we continue the mini-courses #CindyJS and #Shadertoy: We tackled the scripting abilities of CindyJS and immersed ourselves in the creation of fractals and circle inversions, learning to write functions and structs in #GLSL. (1/3)
January 6, 2026 at 10:43 PM
The afternoon is dedicated to "homework" - participants get to work with the content of the morning lectures of the two mini-courses. See www.shadertoy.com/view/tfyBDy or www.shadertoy.com/view/WcVfWy for two amazing results. Looking forward to more amazing content this week. (5/5)

Final talk in the morning is the first lesson in a five-lesson mini-course on #Shadertoy, given by @stevejtrettel.bsky.social. The course material is available on Steve's website shaders.stevejtrettel.site, in case you want to follow along at home. (4/n)

Next up is the first invited speaker of the graduate school, David Bachman (pzacad.pitzer.edu/~dbachman/), speaking about "Mathematical Illustration with Artificial Intelligence." If you're interested in the topic, check out Dave's #AI newsletter: profbachman.substack.com (3/n)

Tim Reinhardt, Michael Martin Katzenberger, and Chaim Goodman-Strauss are kicking us off with the first lesson in their five-lesson mini-course on "CindyJS" (cindyjs.org). We start with some #geometry construction in CindyJS' predecessor, Cinderella. (2/n)

This week, we start the Institut Henri Poincare program "Illustration as a mathematical research technique" (indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/13123/) with a graduate school at the @cirm-math.bsky.social. For the week, 53 participants will immerse themselves in all things #illustratingMath. (1/n)

I have seen so much underwear when I just wanted some hyperbolic space 😅 #MathSky #BeltramiKlein

This looks like a great tool #illustratingMath and letting you explore different #reactionDiffusion patterns. A while ago, we have looked into #3D patterns, if anybody is up for writing a similar explorer for that, I'd be delighted.
