Introduction In this inquiry, triangles are dissected into smaller triangles with vertices labeled as either light (L), medium (M), or dark (D). Any triangles that are LMD triangles are shaded with color. Triangle play Let's start with a triangle LMD: Now, let's dissect the triangle by adding a point somewhere| Fractal Kitty

Introduction Explore the reflection and rotation of polygons to discover the patterns that emerge. Polygon Play Let's start with a triangle ABC. We can rotate clockwise so that each vertex moves clockwise by one step: We can also reflect (or flip) the shape horizontally: These rotations and reflections can be| Fractal Kitty

Wow! It's the 238th Carnival of Mathematics organized by Aperiodical. This has been a fun month with lots of submissions and lots of beautiful math art. To start let's jump into the number 238 itself. 238 is: 2 × 7 × 17. the sum of the| Fractal Kitty
Find balance through symmetry. $$f(x) = f(-x)$$ --- Approximation improves with experience. $$e^x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!} = 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \cdots$$ --- To untangle is to meditate. $$\huge{\bigcirc}$$ --- Be ever-changing. $$\frac{du}{dt} \ne 0$$ --- Allow for transformation.| Fractal Kitty
In January, I kicked off a journey of reflection and growth at the Recurse Center (RC) – a retreat where you work at the edge of your abilities with wonderful peers to pair program, study with, and grow. My goals in participating were to learn and play with different programming languages,| Fractal Kitty
On winter solstice I had my personal "new-year" and I started an experimental journal of self. My motivation was to see if my experiences and awareness change through the type of journaling that I do.
