The wind forces the water into circular motion, yet it generates waves.
We define a Wunderlich cube to be a cube whose surfaces contain raised impressions of the reflections of seed shapes resembling the letter S. The video shows how this cube can be rolled leaving a...
Just 30 pipe cleaners can be assembled to form a Kepler Point star
This is a short introduction into the wonderful world of graph theory. Hopefully this video will help you learn, or serve as a refresher for, some basics concepts in graph theory. Enjoy!

Standing wave theory and Morphodynamic archetypes Sphere-vortex connection
The tripartite communion between the sphere, spiral and language involves a conceptual leap clarifying the...
The video shows a polygonal line consisting of 24 segments constructed by turtle geometry (Refs.: “Turtle Geometry” by Harold Abelson and Andrea diSessa, The MIT Press,...
The video shows the construction of an algebraic curve by a mechanical linkage.
The video shows the construction of an algebraic curve by a mechanical linkage.
In this wordless animation we demonstrate the mathematics of binary place-value, and leave the viewer with a puzzle.
In 2d we can spin a ray about a point. If the ray contains a 1d profile, spinning gives a 2d object.
In 3d we can spin a half plane about a line. If we the half plane contains a 2d profile,...
There are two purposes in this animation
1. Use complex logarithm to see the relation between stereographic projection and Mercator map
2. By rotating small region to the poles we can...
Watch how the numbers 0, 1, 2, …, 21 leave behind residues (mod 22) when raised to the powers of 0, 1, 2, …, 21.
Most people know the Leonardo Bridge.
Only few people know that you can complete the structure to a full circle.
This circle forms a kind of tensegrity structure and has amazing...
Ursyn - Frozen Fractals
Changes reflecting states of matter and resulting landscapes are depicted as related to math.
Lindermayer system is a parallel rewriting system and a type of formal grammar. It consists of an alphabet of symbols that can be used to make strings, a collection of production rules that expand...
This MathLapse illustrates a process for constructing a stamp for imprinting a rosette which has (only) rotation symmetry.
This MathLapse illustrates a process for constructing a stamp for imprinting a frieze which has (only) translation symmetry.
In the art form of SUZHI KOLAM/ KAMBI KOLAM, dots called pulli are arranged in rhombic,...
A wonderful way to describe natural shapes using the language of mathematics is provided by self-similar patterns. The idea is to repeat the same base module on different scales and positions,...
The video is a composition in black and white, playing a creative game with the limited pixel resolution of electronic displays.
