I spent the last two evenings making a small site to act as a portfolio of math viz projects. Let me know what you think!

roice3.org

It's easy to end up obsessing over these things. Time to pull myself away and sleep!

    You are way too clever! Most of my calculations are mental :(

    wendy krieger, maybe it is the reverse.  I'm handicapped to have to code something visual to understand it :)

    Thanks Scott Vorthmann!  I want to put our clif4d up here too!

    Roice produces brilliant and beautiful pictures. They are an inspiration to see.

    Looks great but why do you need more personal sites? Wouldn't it be easier to maintain just one main one, suitably organized?

    Melinda Green, for a long while, I've been bothered that all my projects land on the gravitation3d site, because gravitation3d just happened to be the first project I needed a website for.

    I'm not sure if I'll move over previous projects, but I'd like roice3.org to become that one, suitably organized site.  If I had started with a better generic site name like superliminal, I definitely wouldn't be complicating things with another domain name :)

    Your comment made me realize I need to repoint gravitation3d.com/roice to roice3.org, so thanks!  (currently it points at roice3.blogspot.com).

    I should have guessed your intention. Note that superliminal was a bad choice because it mixes Greek and Roman roots. The correct word should have been "supraliminal". People and things tend to grow into their names, so in the end it doesn't much matter.

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations The Hopf Fibration of S^3 is amazing and beautiful.  Rather than describe it here, I'll point you to a lovely online reference with pictures and videos by Niles Johnson. nilesjohnson.net/hopf.html To understand it better (and fibrations in general), I recommend this talk by Niles too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDQsmL-8Us It turns out there is an analogue of the Hopf fibration for H^3.  In fact, there is not just one "fiberwise homogenous" fibration in the hyperbolic case.  There is a 2-parameter family of them, plus one additional fibration that does not fit the family.  As with S^3, fibers in the H^3 cases are geodesics.  They are ultraparallel in fibrations from the family, and parallel in the exceptional fibration.  I found the following dissertation by Haggai Nuchi a good intro and resource to help think about all this. www.math.upenn.edu/grad/dissertations/NuchiThesis.pdf I'm posting three early pictures of H^3 fibrations belo...

76 Unique Honeycombs

76 Unique Honeycombs Last weekend, Tom Ruen and I hit the milestone of uploading to wikipedia at least one image for 9 families of compact, Wythoffian, uniform H3 honeycombs, a total of 76 unique honeycombs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_honeycombs_in_hyperbolic_space You can easily browse all the images on my wiki user page: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Roice3 - Compact means the cells are finite in extent.  - Wythoffian means we can generate them using a kaleidoscopic construction, that is by reflecting in mirrors.    - Uniform means they are vertex transitive and have uniform polyhedral cells. There may even be more honeycombs that meet all these criteria, I don't know. ( update: see Tom's comment below! )  I do know there are hundreds more which don't meet one or more of these criteria, many undiscovered.  In fact, there are infinitely more because there are some infinite families of honeycombs.  wendy krieger continues to discover and enumerate more...
