Roice's G+ Posts

I found this fun blogpost a great way to become more familiar with the Johnson solids. Well worth a read!

Originally shared by Gerard Westendorp I made a website on hyperbolic tilings of fractals: https://westy31.home.xs4all.nl/PoincareMeetsMandelbrot/PoincareMeetsMandelbrot.html

Originally shared by Henry Segerman Hyperbolic ray marching simulation, with my student Michael Woodard, and Roice Nelson, now with Phong reflection model lighting and better UI!

For anyone on twitter, I wrote a bot that generates 2-dimensional tilings with randomized parameters. "TilingBot" will auto-tweet once a day, though it may occasionally be more chatty when I'm having fun extending it. I hope you enjoy! https://twitter.com/tilingbot https://twitter.com/tilingbot

A wonderful, interactive writeup about visualizing Coxeter groups, polytopes in particular. Originally shared by Mikael Hvidtfeldt Christensen I have written a blog post on 'Building 4D Polytopes'. This actually goes back to a Fractal Forums discussion back in 2012, where Knighty came up with a clever scheme for ray marching polytopes. It also discusses the mathematics behind Jenn 3D (a tool for creating explicit geometry). It is probably my most ambitious post yet - lots of interactive WebGL components - which also means it not very mobile friendly, I'm afraid. The post can be found here: https://syntopia.github.io/Polytopia/polytopes.html Please let me know if you have ideas for improvements or corrections!

Finally took some time to get MagicTile building for Macs. http://roice3.org/magictile/downloads/mac.htm

Twenty years of Rubik's cube addiction... ...has just borne fruit :D My article Abstracting the Rubik's Cube is in the April issue of Mathematical Association of America's Math Horizons, and one of the Boy's surface puzzles made the cover. Working with the editor David Richeson was a great experience! https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/umho20/25/4 Grab one of my free 50 copies at the following link - make sure to get the pdf with all the images: https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/cc7qejfNI5rvbKJK9gKV/full Update My free copies are gone, but the preprint will always be available at: http://roice3.org/papers/abstracting_rubiks_cube.pdf
