matematicas visuales visual math

 

In MatematicasVisuales you will find visual expositions of mathematical concepts.

MatematicasVisuales intends to complement the work initiated by artiludios, a site with games, puzzles and mathematical curiosities.

Reading Miguel de Guzmán I found a demonstration of the line of Simpson and the Steiner Deltoid. It serves as an introduction to the geometry section.

The concept of function and its graphical representation are a key concept and we dedicate special attention to it in the analysis section.

Geometric representation of the complex numbers facilitates its visualization. The representation of complex functions usually needs dimension fourth. Sometimes, this difficulty is avoided using colors with which useful and attractive representations are obtained.

Thinking in who have to start learning probability we have this section about this subject.

In the history section we approach mathematics through its history. I try to present the origin and growth of some mathematical concepts.

Miguel Cardil made the design of matematicasvisuales.com. You can see more of his works in www.mcardil.com. Do not miss his Stick Figure Museum.

The contents of MatematicasVisuales has been developed by Roberto Cardil.

Loci has published my article Kepler:The volume of a wine barrel. Loci is a publication of the Mathematical Asociation of America (MAA). It is the journal of the Matematical Science Digital Library (MathDL). Thanks to Janet Beery, editor of Loci, for her help and encouragement. They has also choosen Taylor Polynomials - Exponential Functions as a resource in his Course Communities in Undergraduate Mathematics.
The Math Forum @ Drexel maintains an Internet Mathematics Library and they have chosen MatematicasVisuales as Hot Spot for the month of August, 2010.
This site MatematicasVisuales has been selected in 2009/11/16 as a "Cool Math Site of the Week" in the project "Knot a Braid of Links" of the Canadian Mathematical Society. It is Knot 374.

Personal: The Game of Life with Nature photos
Life Vida (2011 New version, more photos) | matematicas visuales
In this new version of The Game of Life invented by John H. Conway we can see more than 100 new photos of Nature. Each time you run the application, 36 photos randomly choosen are shown.
