Is AI the End of Math As We Know It? | Quanta Magazine

Mathematicians are facing the sudden shift with grief, anger, and a desperate search for fresh ideas: “If we don’t adapt, there’s just no more math in 50 years.”

#mathober is starting today – one math prompt per day to express yourself in some way! https://www.fractalkitty.com/mathober-2026-prompts/ Day 1: "Perimeter of an Ellipse" Calculating the perimeter requires elliptic integrals. But I learned about a pretty efficient method to approximate it, which uses the arithmetic-geometric mean! In my drawing, all ellipses have the same perimeter! Imagine squishing and stretching a piece of wire. Coded in #p5js, then drawn using #krita. #math #mathober2026

this is the back of one of my new Mandelbrot knit sweaters https://knityak.com/collections/antenna-crown in shades of blue. these ship with the code in Python to generate your specific spot on the Mandelbrot fractal with these same four colors and dithering. these are made with a new on demand manufacturer and are pixel native from my code: one pixel equals one knit stitch. #math #knit #computationallyfabulous #fractal #mathart #algorithmicart

five different unique one off 1D CA one-dimensional cellular automata sweaters in rule 90. https://knityak.com/collections/voltage if you were to use a generating row with just one pixel with rule 90 you get Sierpinski triangles. i have new ledger code helping me to keep track of generating rows i already sold: so once someone gets one, no one else gets the same one. also i made new three color dithered backgrounds so these are four color knits. #math #Sierpiński #knit #1dca #cellularautomata #rule90

Going On A Tangent With The Intel 8087’s Hybrid CORDIC Algorithm

Continuing their reverse-engineering of Intel’s 8087 FPU, [Ken Shirriff] and friends took a look at one of the trigonometric functions, specifically FPTAN.  The most exciting part with such r…

many of the sweaters and blankets on the new https://knityak.com are now knit in four colors. i've done new custom dithered colors for the edges of the mandelbrot set and new custom fade backgrounds for mac rom sweaters. they are pixel native code generated designs where one pixel equals one knit stitch. for many designs i ship the source code for your spot on the mandelbrot set and your mac boot rom. the seams are linked, not cut and sewn. #math #knit #computationallyfabulous
