Day 1 (of 7) of the math art class I’m leading is in the books. We have 15 kids (9th and 10th graders). It’s exhausting! But I think it went well! Kids built a George Hart Sculpture (actually we made two of them!) and we learned about V-E+F=2. #MathArt #mtbos

In the afternoon at the Institut Henri Poincaré, we start with an introduction by Jean Schmitt on how to run an "Art Critique" session. Bravely, Gabriel Dorfsman-Hopkins and @gelada.bsky.social then provide their #illustratingMath works as examples to be critiqued. (3/4)

This morning, talks are given by @gelada.bsky.social (Why rigorous illustrations?), Robert Ghrist (Illuminating impossible objects), Pierre Arnoux (Counting the dots), and Ingrid Daubechies (Illustrating the development of wavelets). An amazing gallery of #illustratingMath. (2/4)

#mathart #mathknitting #JMM2026 This year, the math art exhibition at the Joint Mathematics Meetings invited me to be a featured artist, giving me the chance to assemble this mini-retrospective of my knitted and beaded work. Links to the catalog entries are in the following posts. 🧶 #knitsky ☺️

It's great to be at @cirm-math.bsky.social this week with our #illustratingMath graduate school on "Illustration as a Mathematical Research Technique". Looking forward to the trimester with the same name at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, starting right with this graduate school week.

On the second day of #illustratingMath at @cirm-math.bsky.social, we continue the mini-courses #CindyJS and #Shadertoy: We tackled the scripting abilities of CindyJS and immersed ourselves in the creation of fractals and circle inversions, learning to write functions and structs in #GLSL. (1/3)

This week, we start the Institut Henri Poincare program "Illustration as a mathematical research technique" (indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/13123/) with a graduate school at the @cirm-math.bsky.social. For the week, 53 participants will immerse themselves in all things #illustratingMath. (1/n)

As pointed out by @paulakrieg.bsky.social and noted by @mpershan.bsky.social, longtime #mtbos partner and collaborator Malke Rosenfeld passed away last year. She investigated and taught the mind-body math connection, engaging hundreds of teachers and learners in #mathart - dance! RIP great friend!

Here's your chance to learn about some #illustratingMath while going through the lovely #MathArt by @mathzorro.bsky.social. Give the talk a watch!

For all the #textile #art fans! 😍

I can highly recommend the #pod. Cool and insightful conversations and great content overall, featuring @steckl.es and @peterrowlett.net among others.

Inspired by @anniekp.bsky.social and @aliensunset.bsky.social, I created this beautiful piece of mathematical art! Hitomezashi stitching! To read about a bit about how I stumbled on this, read on! samjshah.com/2025/08/13/h... #mtbos #mathart

The second talk is by Stepan Paul, who tells us about "Topological Origami: Beyond the Paper Donut."🍩Flat tori are known, but what about a flat Klein Bottle? Stepan shows us a first prototype (that fails at six points ) as well as a corrected model that's on the arxiv arxiv.org/abs/2504.08826.

Starting the #illustratingMath talks at the @icerm.bsky.social today is Elliot Kienzle, who aims to settle the question how "To draw a torus." Like all good answers, his is based on differential geometry, taking the geometry of the torus into account when drawing. And Escher's there, too😄

Today, the one-week #illustratingMath workshop at @icerm.bsky.social starts. It is a week, packed with great talks on #images, #animations, #textiles, #sculptures, #dance, and #3dPrinting. All talks are being live-streamed, so go check out the schedule at icerm.brown.edu/program/topi... and join in!

As I head home from #MAAthFest, enjoy these wonderful pieces in the Math Art exhibit including pieces by @gwenbeads.bsky.social and @gelada.bsky.social

Art exhibit at #MAAthFest. Wonderful dodo-cahedron by Andrea Hawksley. Read about poly-fill-hedra at: archive.bridgesmathart.org/2022/bridges...

This is a photo of a tree that fell on campus during a summer storm. I wonder if there's an interesting conversation we could have with multivariable calculus students about tree rings. Tree rings are level curves. What's the function? What does the gradient vector tell us? Etc.

Thanks @gelada.bsky.social for your thought-provoking talk this morning! I appreciated many parts including where you discussed two different ways in which mathematical artists might approach artwork - create rules that must be followed to make art or use math as inspiration in the artistic process.

2nd day / 1st keynote / Bridges #Mathart is by @gelada.bsky.social, speaking about "Genuine Pretending: A Philosophy for Mathematics and Art." He shares with us what good comes out of following one practice (e.g. #math) as if it were another (e.g. #art). 📜 archive.bridgesmathart.org/2025/bridges...

2nd afternoon session of the Bridges #MathArt conference today: Mrinal Dhume and I conducted the workshop "Exploring Math Illustrations: Draw, Deduce, Discuss!" A game of pictionary encouraged participants to create and discuss math illustrations. 📜 archive.bridgesmathart.org/2025/bridges...

The show went great! It was so nice to be able to share the pieces with everyone. Lots of excitement and enthusiasm for the designs. And everyone else's work was amazing!!

Tuesday Night = Fashion Night💃🕺at the Bridges #MathArt conference. Participants double as models, showcasing the latest #MathArt fashion and jewelry pieces on the runway. From earrings to magnificent dresses, we got to see it all. Overview at gallery.bridgesmathart.org soon™️.

The last day of the Bridges #MathArt conference is also the last day to visit the #art exhibit of the conference. Luckily, all artworks from this year's conference (and all artworks of prior exhibitions) can be found freely accessible online: gallery.bridgesmathart.org/exhibitions, check 'em out!

Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, stopped by MoMath for some math fun! He rode the square‑wheeled tricycle and chatted with MoMath’s own Cindy Lawrence about the beauty of math. Catch him as a math-loving grandpa in The Life of Chuck www.newyorker.com/magazine/tru...

Thinking about upgrading this to include "Normalize giving students problems they don't yet have the tools to solve." Being able to recognize that is a very important, and under-valued, skill.

So excited to share a BRAND NEW episode of Relatively Prime! This one is a conversation about funding in mathematics with @mathprofcarrie.bsky.social, @drew-lewis.com, and Jude Higdon from @qside.bsky.social Listen here: relprime.com/rpsf/

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

Seattle Universal Math Museum (SUMM) had a wonderful build that awes those meandering through the JMM exhibit area.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems before yesterday, there wasn’t a whole lot of beadweaving on Bluesky. I have a feeling that’s going to change really soon. #mathart #beads #beadweaving

Hi. I’m new here. I’m a math tutor who loves math and making art. I weave beads using math and geometry, sew and mend clothes, draw, and paint. I like math art and rainbows. Two of my favorite things to paint are black holes and color wheels.
 Stay connected.

🧵 So, hey there #edusky! 👋 A while back, I posted an angsty blog about how difficult it is to engage in meaningful work on teaching practice when the systems are breaking down all around us. Excerpt and link below. tjzager.com/2024/09/21/c...
