For #MathArtMarch prompt hexagon, enjoy some honeybees :
minouette.bsky.social Ele Willoughby @minouette.bsky.social · Sep 20
For the #SciArtSeptember theme sweet, my dance of the honeybees. 🐡🧪#invert

This is a linocut showing 1 of the ways the honeybee communicates through dance. A worker bee can return to the hive & through the way it aligns itself with respect to the sun & the honeycomb, the waggles & … 🧵1/2
My linocut honeycomb pattern of hexagons in a gradient of dark to light honey yellow overprinted with 5 honeybees in black with red curving and zigzagging arrows between them to indicate their motions during a waggle dance (the honeybees bees in fact indicate a single bee at 5 points during its dance).

For the #MathArtMarch prompt single line, I’m thinking about Katherine Johnson calculating trajectories 🧪🐡👩🏾‍🔬🧮🔭🎢
minouette.bsky.social Ele Willoughby @minouette.bsky.social · Oct 13
For the #Spacetober prompt ‘historic launch vehicles’ it’s my portrait of mathematician & NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (1918 – 2020). 🐡🧪🧑🏽‍🔬 #histsci #🧮 One of the 1st Black women employed as a NASA scientist (& predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex manual calculations of 🧵1/n
My linocut portrait of Katherine Johnson in a upward gradient of raspberry to purple ink (she is a Black woman in a shirt dress, with pearls, glasses and a watch, holding a pencil, facing left with her arms out on an unseen table like she was writing, looking at the viewer over her right shoulder). Behind her on the right is the Project Mercury rocket with capsule and launch trajectory in black. Beside her on right is the Earth in blue with two images of the Moon in silver above to show the trajectory for the Apollo Lunar Module.

This medieval mosaic from Ravenna is rocking some serious 1950s energy. 😍

#MosaicMonday
A slightly wonky mosaic. The pattern is a geometric repeating one with a series of dark squares, one inside each of a number of regularly spaced circles arranges on a grid of squares and rectangles.

For #MathArtMarch prompt proof: my portrait of Sofia Kovalevski 🐡🧪👩🏼‍🔬🧮 #histsci
minouette.bsky.social Ele Willoughby @minouette.bsky.social · Jan 15
Happy birthday to Russian #mathematician & writer Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevski (1850-1891). 🐡🧪👩‍🔬🧮 #histsci Her contributions to analysis, differential equations & mechanics include Cauchy-Kovalevski theorem & the famed Kovalevski top. She was 1st woman appointed to full prof in N Europe or to serve 🧵
My linocut portrait of Sofia Kovalevski in burgundy surrounded by Saturn and a diagram about the rotation of irregular solids in gold ink. She’s wearing a dress with puffed sleeves over a floral embroidered blouse. Her hair is up, her arms are folded in front of her and she looks thoughtfully to the side.

Today’s #MathArtMarch promo is quadrilateral so I am sharing a golden rectangle 🐡🧪🧮
minouette.bsky.social Ele Willoughby @minouette.bsky.social · Nov 23
Today is Fibonacci Day. November 23 if written in MM/DD format recalls the mathematician Leonardo Bonaccio of Pisa (c. 1170 - c. 1240 or 50) aka Fibonacci’s sequence (1,1,2,3…) where each number is the sum of the previous two. 🐡🧪🧮 #histsci He used it to describe rabbit populations, but the sequence

For #MathArtMarch prompt symmetry, I must share the incomparable Emmy Noether!

#histsci 👩🏼‍🔬🐡🧪🧮🎢
minouette.bsky.social Ele Willoughby @minouette.bsky.social · Mar 23
Happy birthday to one of greatest mathematicians of all time Emmy Noether (1882-1935), here with her eponymous theorem, the backbone of modern physics. 🧪🐡👩‍🔬🧮 #histsci Noether's theorem links any symmetry of a system with a conservation law. In my portrait, I chose to depict a young Emmy in front 🧵1/n
My linocut portrait of Emmy Noether in front of a blackboard with diagrams and equations. Noether is printed in blue. She has her hair up and wears a pin-striped buttoned shirt with puffy sleeves, bow tie, tweed skirt with belt and is shown from waist up, turned slightly away from the viewer. The blackboard is green and shows a simple form of Noether’s equations at the top. On the left are three diagrams to represent translational symmetry (a frame of reference or 3 orthogonal axes and a straight diagonal arrow to a second frame of reference); rotational symmetry (a frame of reference and curved arrow to a second rotated frame of reference); and time symmetry (two simple clocks with an arrow between them and their hands at different places). On the right are the three associated conserved quantities: momentum (a p with arrow above it); angular momentum (an L with arrow above it); and energy (E).

For #MathArtMarch prompt growth I thought I would share Keeling with the Keeling curve 🧪🐡🧮
minouette.bsky.social Ele Willoughby @minouette.bsky.social · Apr 20
Happy birthday to #geochemist Charles David Keeling (1928 - 2005) whose decades long observations of CO2 in air samples from Mauna Loa Observatory were some of the 1st direct data to show the human contribution to greenhouse effect & global warming. 🧪🐡 #histsci 🧵1/

For the #MathArtMarch prompt nature, I am sharing #cyanotype and #linocut about fractal patterns in nature 🐡🧪🧮
minouette.bsky.social Ele Willoughby @minouette.bsky.social · Mar 1
For #PrinterSolstice prompt primary colours I combined 3 print media. 🐡🧮🧪 This print is about how fractal patterns appear in nature. I have combined a cyanotype of a fern leaf on Japanese paper, with a red gel print and yellow lino block print of a fractal Sierpiński triangle.
🧵1/n
In this print is I have combined a cyanotype of a fern leaf on a vertical rectangle of Japanese paper on the left side, with a red gel print on top of the fern and yellow lino block print of a fractal Sierpiński triangle set at an angle overlapping the cyanotype, red dot and the white sheet on the right of the print.
