Art Project #6
Cathie Markstahler sent in some of her students' work saying
It is a great tool for discovery learning. I also have my precalc students do an art project where they have to design a picture using a rubric that requires several functions, reflections, transformations, shading and limited domains. I've attached some student work that I thought you might enjoy seeing.

Cathie Markstahler sent in some of her students' work saying
I use it to instruct beginning algebra students all the way to high school precalculus classes. It is a great tool for discovery learning. I also have my precalc students do an art project where they have to design a picture using a rubric that requires several functions, reflections, transformations, shading and limited domains.

Lissajous sculpture
Fielding Brown sent me this.
The rim realizes in 3-D a particular Lissajous, and is made by laminating thin wood strips with aluminum around a form. The strings are dacron kite string fixed to the rim with small eyelets. The piece was just recently part of a solo show of my work at Cape Cod Museum of Art.

Square Wheels
James Taylor posted on the Graphing Calculator users list showing square and octogonal wheels moving smoothly along a road made of catenary arcs. I rewrote the equations in terms of a complex variable z=x+iy. Download Graphing Calculator file.

Propoganda for young nerds
My favorite e-mails are from students who send me art made in Graphing Calculator. A teacher yesterday sent me this created by one of her seventh grade students. Check out those equations! (You can download the document here if you have Graphing Calculator or the Viewer.)
