Math is Beautiful
An interactive exploration of the work of mathematical artist Hamid Naderi Yeganeh.
The Artist and The Process
Hamid Naderi Yeganeh, an Iranian mathematician and artist, discovered that he could find "interesting shapes that resemble real things" by using mathematical formulas. By writing computer programs, he can generate thousands of unique, intricate images based on a single formula, simply by changing a few parameters.
His process is one of exploration. He often doesn't know what an equation will produce until he runs the program. Finding recognizable objects, like a boat or animals, can be a happy accident after weeks of tweaking formulas. He shares his formulas openly to demonstrate the creative power and beauty inherent in mathematics.
