Calculator in C#
Simon has been into learning about C# the last couple of days. Yesterday he built a calculator. He didn’t actually compose the code himself as one might think after watching … Continue reading Calculator in C#
Random Walker Coding Challenge
Simon completed this coding challenge by Daniel Shiffman fairly quickly: Simon also learned about the term Lévy flight, in math essentially the same as a “random walk” within continuous space or … Continue reading Random Walker Coding Challenge
Inequalities
For his math classes Simon has been studying inequalities with Khan Academy. He got so inspired to connect math and programming that he went straight ahead and created his own … Continue reading Inequalities
Math class. Inequalities.
Solving inequalities with Khan Academy:
Scratch Pad for the math class
For his math class Simon programmed a scratch pad (well, he didn’t actually invent the code, but found it in Daniel Shiffman’s coding challenges and built the scratch pad on … Continue reading Scratch Pad for the math class
Math Class: Give me a scratch pad!
Simon feels much better doing math in a scratch pad or typing the equations on the screen as opposed to writing things down on paper.
Crazy Supershapes
We have purchased something Simon wanted to have for months already: new software to construct the craziest 3D-supershapes! The software is pretty old, developed by Australian programmer Paul Bourke long before … Continue reading Crazy Supershapes
Superellipse
A superellipse This was the formula (Simon doesn’t fully understand it yet but loves playing with it):
Inspired by the formulas used by Daniel Shiffman to draw phyllotactic patterns, Simon decided to get back to his old favourite. In this rather long video Simon tries to use … Continue reading
Where Botany meets Math and What is Cartesian vs Polar?
Simon did another coding challenge by Daniel Shiffman today, this time a short one called Phyllotaxis. You might be thinking, what in heaven’s name is Phyllotaxis? As it turned out, … Continue reading Where Botany meets Math and What is Cartesian vs Polar?
Vectors in Processing
Here is Simon in full glory on the first day of the new year: And here is what he does: study how vectors work in Processing (Java) and explain that … Continue reading Vectors in Processing
