    I noticed this playing around with the kind of algebra found in (and Gunn’s other papers) (4/4)

    midpoint <-> exterior angle bisector lines through opposite vertices <-> intersections with opposite legs intersect at a point <-> lie on a single line (3/n)

    This is dual to the theorem that lines from midpoints of the legs of a triangle through opposite vertices intersect at a single point (the centroid) in the following way: (2/n)

    Stumbled across a theorem this morning (does it have a name?) 1. Draw a triangle 2. Draw lines bisecting its exterior angles 3. Find the intersection of each bisector with the opposite leg 4. These three intersection points lie on a single line. … (1/n)

    Not sure who needs to hear this: At my first job as a programmer, my initial impression was, “holy shit I can’t believe I’m getting paid to learn all this” My second thought was, “what if they find out” 15 years later, still getting paid to learn. 🤘🏻

    OH MY GOODNESS! One of my students made an equipotential simulator in and it is THE GREATEST THING EVER.

    Common approximation strategy: Use Taylor series for small arguments, rational approximation for medium-sized arguments, and asymptotic approximation for large arguments.

    So excited to be a part of the new Math Stories project at Desmos. Here’s a story about my experience of learning math, loving math, and sometimes feeling like an outsider in the process. Stay tuned for more stories from more folks!

    An explanation of dimensional regularisation, one of the more bizarre sounding ideas in physics, applied to *classical* electrodynamics. Should make it accessible to a wider audience (Spot the 1/ε subtraction, related to my recent "moral truth" example.)

    Yeeee our Swell form machine is here! Excited to learn more about tactile graphics

    Swell machine with two tactile graphics of circles graphed on a grid in front of the machine. Allison, wearing a cute pink watch, is touching one of the raised circles.

    My first 500lb deadlift! Lockout was highly questionable, but the next one will be better.

    We have a winner! 50 points to Jacob Rus for commissioning a Jacquard woven textile of IEEE-754 floating point error. It’s lovely!

    Does anyone have references diving into the low level implementation details of Android or iOS UI rendering systems? I want to know e.g. how it does culling, whether it does a form of depth pre-pass, how anti-aliasing works, how scrolling is optimized etc.

    🧵 An illustrated guide to the "Catalan Solids", a class of 3D shapes I learned about this summer. I tried to write this for artists, geometry enthusiasts, and anyone who likes shapes and wants a gentle introduction to the math behind them. Please enjoy and share 😊
