This is an extension off a previous workflow series featuring Processing and Fiji. This 3D print has slices that represent a (linear) trip in the Julia Set from 0+0i to 0.32+0.64i. I wrote a Processing program to create the 400 Julia … Continue reading
Learning ∩ Play ∩ Math ∩ Art The connection between learning math and playing with math has been on my mind lately. Another connection that I’ve been thinking about is the interplay between math and art. This morning I decided to merge these two … Continue reading
This is a continuation of the workflow series: part 1, part 2, and part 3. This workflow was done entirely in the web browser and could be done on a chromebook. The only step that requires a more serious computer is sending … Continue reading
This is a continuation of the workflow series: part 1 and part 2. Motivation Have students create mathematical art in Desmos and bring that digital art into the physical world using a laser engraver. You can certainly bring any image from … Continue reading
I asked the above question, If you had a friend taking this class next year, what advice would you give them?, to the outgoing PreCalculus H group last year. I’m giving the incoming PreCalculus H their responses. Here’s a link … Continue reading
