Simon explains why the proof that root 4 is irrational is false and shows a couple more related theorems (he came up with) generalizing the relationship between the exponent and … Continue reading Simon’s findings about the relationship between the exponent and the factor of a number
We were reading “17 Equations that Changed the World” late last night, the chapter about the wave equation. Simon got all excited about timbres (shapes of sound waves), that are … Continue reading Fundamental Frequency
This is a behind the scenes video (Simon wasn’t even aware of me filming at first, but he always talks to himself when working out a proof, so that helps). … Continue reading Behind the scenes
In AI there’s this concept of dimensionality reduction, which reduces a lot of dimensions to three or less dimensions (however you lose a lot of information through that). IQ tests … Continue reading On IQ tests
Simon is seriously enjoying his new Molymod chemistry modeling sets and has been obsessing about which set contains what atoms and bonds. Alcohol (Ethanol): Hurray! We have just built 7,333333333333 … Continue reading Molecules
Always awesome input and a great deal of understanding coming from the math professors. The last picture is of Simon programming the solution on paper (he didn’t have the laptop … Continue reading MathsJam Antwerp 20 November 2018
My Times Tables Visualization Poster has arrived! Will probably present this at @CC_Amsterdam @ProcessingOrg Community Day Amsterdam! https://t.co/ChTg0eOLIn
Simon has made an enormous poster from his earlier animated version of the Times Tables Visualization! Simon is hoping to present this project at the Processing Community Day in Amsterdam … Continue reading Simon’s Times Tables Visualization is Now a Huge Poster!
Simon learned a new math trick last night called Hundred Board. He came up with two ways to prove why the trick always works:
Simon said today upon waking up: “If a Physics constant suddenly popped up in pure mathematics, that would be really weird. If there is more than one universe, that would … Continue reading Upon waking up
What a blissful day at Creative Coding Utrecht! Simon also got a chance to show a few of his projects in Processing to a cool and understanding audience!
Simon told me this morning that he has found the answer to a question that bothered him so much lately -why photons (and gluons) violate E = mc². “It’s because … Continue reading Serious answers
