Happy birthday to #mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017)! The Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious #math awards, is awarded to mathematicians < 40. In 2014, she became 1st woman to win. Her research included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, & symplectic geometry, and Fields committee cited her work in “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces”.

This is a closeup of one of my favorite shirts I rarely wear anymore. It’s a man’s button-up collared dress shirt made from 100% cotton by Jayne Barnes. In the 1990s, Barnes hired mathematicians to program her looms to make the most extraordinary weaves, like this one. As far as I can tell, she no longer makes clothes like this anymore. The only fine fabrics I ever see with this kind of complexity these days are made from synthetics. #mathart #weaving

just got this in person: https://knityak.com/products/spiral-galaxies-blanket?variant=47981603389605
this is my mandelbrot fractal self designed code generated knit blanket. the front has the design, back is birds eye jacquard. each ships with its source code in python to generate this exact spot on the mandelbrot set with the same custom dithering color fades in code. each is pixel native where one pixel perfectly equals one knit stitch. these are my new four color knit designs with a new manufacturer completely on demand.
