Silhouettes Designing the Silhouettes The Silhouettes were drawn by Dominique Ehrmann. The Little Girl and Teenager underwent some minor variations until their outline was fixed, but the Adult changed quite a bit – maybe because Dominique’s perception of mathematicians changed as the project progressed? Silhouettes Fabrication Once their design was finalized, they were vectorized inContinue reading “Silhouettes – Fabrication”

Silhouette and Vortices – Through the Mathemalchemy Looking Glass
“Oma, when I look up in that direction, through my eyelashes between half-closed eyelids, I can see some huge shadow there, against the sky. Can you see it too? Do you know what it is?” “I wondered whether you could see it — sometimes you become very still when you look in that direction, peeringContinue reading “Silhouette and Vortices – Through the Mathemalchemy Looking Glass”
Cavalcade – Mathematical Connections
About the Cavalcade The collection of sheets is very diverse, ranging from interesting and/or beautiful figures to amusing tidbits to “aha” visualizations and historical documents or insights; some of them honor a particular mathematician. There is no mathematical rhyme or reason to their order here: this is simply the order in which they were manufactured,Continue reading “Cavalcade – Mathematical Connections”
