Beautiful mathematical GIF-animation

The American mathematician Clayton Shonkwiler (Clayton Shonkwiler) has an unusual hobby: he draws a GIF-animation. But do not just animation and scientifically verified that illustrate the beauty of mathematics and geometry. Some of these concepts can even be used in the design.

He has already accumulated a rather big selection of .

For example, here is a simple torus knot.





It looks like filling Triangle with colored edges.



And the five regular polyhedra (Platonic solids) in the rotation in each of the three dimensions.



But the 600-polyhedron, another Platonic body, four-dimensional polyhedron where every face - the tetrahedron.



Finally, the rotation of a Mobius strip.



By the way, Clayton Shonkwiler not the only one who works in this genre. Some authors do not so much beautiful as training images, which are very clearly demonstrate some of the concepts. They are very useful as a practical material on the geometry lessons at school.

For example, how to draw an ellipse .



Or a clear demonstration of the Pythagorean theorem .



Demonstration that the three-dimensional surface of the hyperboloid is только of straight lines .





As a bonus - blog English physics student Dave White , which generates animation programming language Processing .
