Should be interesting for some of you...

Fixed

please believe I was going to do a direct copy of a joker simple.....

but my eyes hurt and I need to go home. nice find though.

I've always been one to ramble on about the math behind it

and how 'line logic' is a very simple formula. if a 't' has an intersection

and both lines have a slight curve, then that curve must work in the overlapped area too.

but yeah.... I ramble about this all the time.

Holy shit I hate math. Although that is pretty cool.

dude, polar coordinates, cartesian coords. this can def. help me remember shit for my final. thank you joker

anybody want to get down with my new crew, CCK, (courtesian coordinate killaz)?

all you have to do is tell me the square root of rykers island divided by fractal geometric pattern of my nuts!

*hint- my nuts are HUGE

:chicken:

ha, that's awesome J. During my Geometry class last semester I always thought about doing a piece or themed production using algebraic and geometric formulas to define the letters. That site got bookmarked.

thats tight,learn shit everyday

hmm interesting

although i still believe its some kind of trick to make me learn math

it still confuses me as to how i have to set it up. i thought if i moved onto the next shape the grey area would be locked. but i guess you have to close off every side. when i have more time i'll be getting into this.

fun stuff.

that is fucking GEEK-TASTIC!!!...nice find with that one joker.

I spent like 2 hours playing around with that shit.

math is also now being used to test paintings to see who did them or whether they're fakes..

Want to be able to tell a real work of art from a forgery? Do the maths

By Steve Connor Science Editor

23 November 2004

Scientists have created a computer that can tell the mathematical difference between a genuine work of art and a forgery by analysing features invisible to the human eye, paving the way to a new method of art fraud detection

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/scienc...sp?story=585770

"We have been able to mathematically capture subtle characteristics of an artist that are not necessarily visible to the human eye," he said. "We expect this technique, in collaboration with existing physical authentication, to play an important role in the field of art authentication. Similar methods have been used to analyse works of literature.

"We can find things in art work that are unique to the artist, such as the subtle choice of words or phrasing and cadence that are characteristic of a certain writer."

Scientists had to program the computer with an artist's personal style of painting or drawing using digital images of masterpieces known to be the work of the same painter. The machine was then able to decide whether a new work it subsequently analysed was likely to be a forgery.

Professor Farid and his colleagues analysed 13 drawings that had been attributed - at least at some time - to the Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The computer successfully distinguished between eight of the paintings known to be by the artist and five famous imitations by contemporary artists, including some by artists who intended to commit a forgery.

^^ interesting.

this reminded me of an article i read a long time ago on artcrimes about the math involved in graffiti.

found it: http://www.graffiti.org/faq/streetmath.html

Man, that website is fruity. :lol:

Interesting, nonetheless...
