“The Barth-sextic is a sextic surface in complex three-dimensional projective space having the maximum possible number of ordinary double points, namely 65. The surface was discovered by Wolf Barth in 1994, and is given by the implicit equation: where phi is the golden ratio.” ~ MathWorld. We can write short Wolfram Language code ( by […]
Wolfram Language allows creation of computational 3D models. These are different from those you can build with your own hands such as SketchUp etc, because computations are often intrinsically different from the way humans see and think. Let’s take for example Calabi-Yau Surface. It is a mathematical object and it is hard to imagine it. […]
I can occasionally appreciate a nice ASCII art design. But the better is the design, the more manual and custom approach it needs – or so it seems. It is actually quite challenging, if you think about it, to transform a known image or shape to a limited medium using finite set of geometries. So […]
My new publication at the Wolfram Demonstration Project is Horizontal Visibility Graphs for Elementary Cellular Automata. Follow the link to view interactive version. Here is an exert from text: “A time series can be formed from an evolution of a finite elementary cellular automaton (ECA). This can be done in a few different ways. We can […]
Stellation is the process of constructing polyhedra by extending the facial planes past the polyhedron edges of a given polyhedron until they intersect. The set of all possible polyhedron edges of the stellations can be obtained by finding all intersections on the facial planes. Since the number and variety of intersections can become unmanageable for […]
Another Demonstration of mine was published at the Wolfram Demonstration Project. It helps to explore and create spherical artistic designs. I generalized Lissajous curves to spherical coordinates. Azimuthal and polar angles undergo oscillations while the radius is kept constant. Although with the parameterization given I sought to emphasize the artistic side of Lissajous patterns, other spherical parameterizations […]
Stereoscopic 3D Macromolecule 1TF6 from Vitaliy Kaurov on Vimeo. To watch this video you need “red-cyan anaglyph glasses”. This video was made with Mathematica 7. This type of red-cyan anaglyph videos can be useful for display of complex 3D structures. Once the structure is built it takes just a few lines of Mathematica code to […]
