Mathematical Art
I shall not try to define mathematical art. Here are some examples:
- Braided Column
- This is a knotted space walk traced out by a single beam.
The perpendicular cross section of the beam is a rhombus.
Cutting the beam at 45 degrees, however, yields a square cross section.
- Fractal Tree
(with other parameters)
- A three-dimensional version of the Pythagorian tree.
The trunk of the tree is house shaped: a rectangular block with a roof.
Each branch has a similar shape, but the floor is cut at an angle.
The rectangular cross section of the branches is such that the two sides
of the roof are rectangles with the same aspect ratio as the slanted floor.
No two branches point in the same direction
(for the tree ``with other parameters'' branches point in only three
directions).
