Photographer Loves Math, Graphs Her Images

Here are some of the pictures the photographer named Nikki Graziano have captured. Graziano, is a math and photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology, she overlays graphs and their corresponding equations onto her carefully composed photos.

    “I wanted to create something that could communicate how awesome math is, to everyone,” she says.

Graziano doesn’t go out looking for a specific function but lets one find her instead. Once she’s got an image she likes, Graziano whips up the numbers and tweaks the function until the graph it describes aligns perfectly with the photograph. See more of her Found Functions series at Nikkigraziano.com.

Pay it forward.

(BTW, es una real paja integrar eso.. x.x)

Ésto me habría servido bastante en primero. xD

“In the same way that an ordinary photograph is a snapshot of an area of outstanding natural beauty, a mathematical photograph is a snapshot of mathematical beauty.”

These are my favourite photos from Justin Mullins. The equations luminosity and starbirth explain the light produced by a star and it’s creation from a gas and dust cloud. Entanglement is the deep connection between two particles in the universe, regardless of the distance between them. And power is the smallest number larger than infinity.

Agrego la relación de Euler:

Euler’s relation links five of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics in a simple and elegant formula. It says that when viewed in a particular way, the concepts of one and zero are the same as the concepts of the exponential power, e, the imaginary number, i, and the irrational number pi.

This shows how the dodecahedron, a shape with 12 pentagon faces, can be distorted so that it can be drawn with no lines crossing.  In fact any convex polyhedron has this property (loosely ‘convex’ means no dents or spikes). Related is the fact that for convex polyhedra the number of vertices, minus the number of edges, plus the number of faces is always 2. Here that is 20 red vertices - 30 edges + 12 faces = 2. Can you draw a cube with no lines crossing, and does the formula work add up to 2? [more] [code]
