Great visualization of platonic, archimedean and catalan solids with connections.

THE MATHEMAGICIAN — Inger made this beautiful illustration of famous mathematician/programmer Ada Lovelace, which I had to REmix immediately! Here it is, displayed on a chalkboard, with a tiny story to accompany it.
For fellow women in mathematics, I leave a quote that will always motivate me:
“The enchanting charms of this sublime science reveal themselves in all their beauty only to those who have the courage to go deeply into it. But when a person of that sex, that, because of our mores and our prejudices, has to encounter infinitely more obstacles and difficulties than men in familiarizing herself with these thorny research problems, nevertheless succeeds in surmounting these obstacles and penetrating their most obscure parts, she must without doubt have the noblest courage, quite extraordinary talents and superior genius.”
— Carl Friedrich Gauss, 1807
And again, thank you, Inger, for creating this lovely illustration and reminding me why I’m here. <3

I was curious about this image from twodoorcinemakid labeled Fibonacci Circles. (I saw it at the nice #mathart tumblr Geometric Aesthetic). I was surprised the radii came out looking linear instead of exponential, so I started playing around in GeoGebra. I like how the sketch makes it clear that each radius is the sum of the two previous, but still gives that feeling of growth. I made the two initial points adjustable, but wasn’t sure what else to make dynamic. Here’s the sketch if you want to play.
