Pictures of Math

Math can be incredibly beautiful. Often this beauty is only accessible to those who study math at an advanced level; images such as these have a universal aesthetic.

I started this blog hoping to share some of the more colorful parts of mathematics with those who may have dismissed math as the result of a bad algebra or calculus class. Meanwhile, for the mathematically minded, I hope these images inspire you to learn new things.

With every image posted, there are links so that you can read more about the mathematics behind the image. I encourage you to do so as sometimes, the math involved is just as beautiful, if not more so.
