  • The Zen of Magic Squares, Circles, and Stars

    Clifford A PickoverBOOKZen of Magic Squares, Circles,…2011

    Humanity's love affair with mathematics and mysticism reached a critical juncture, legend has it, on the back of a turtle in ancient China. As Clifford Pickover briefly recounts in this enthralling book, the most comprehensive in decades on magic squares, Emperor Yu was supposedly strolling along the Yellow River one day around 2200 B.C. when he spotted the creature: its shell had a series of dots within squares. To Yu's amazement, each row of sq…

  • Algorithmic Faberge Eggs via Residue Analysis

    Clifford A PickoverARTICLELeonardo1998

    Royal Family once gave one another. Some of these eggs were made of gold and silver and decorated with enamel, precious stones and miniature paintings. The most splendid eggs were commissioned by the Czar from Faberge, the leading Russian jewelry firm at the turn of the twentieth century. The prices of real Faberg6 eggs are beyond the financial resources of most humans on this planet. However, personal computers equipped with low-cost graphics ac…

  • The Loom of God

    Istvan Hargittai, Clifford A PickoverARTICLELeonardo1998

    From the mysterious cult of Pythagoras, to the awesome mechanics of Stonehenge, to the fearsome gargoyles and glorious fractals created on the computer screens of today, Pickover evokes the power of numbers and their connection with the search for the ultimate meaning of the universe. We learn that individuals through the ages have conjured numbers to predict the end of the world, to raise the dead, to find love, and to sway the outcome of wars. …

  • Cavern Genesis as a Self-Organizing System

    Clifford A PickoverARTICLELeonardo1998

    The author describes cavern synthesis—a simple computational recipe for creating digital simulations of caverns. This system is reminiscent of self-organizing systems, where large-scale patterns arise from simple rules operating on tiny components of a system. The artistic and unpredictable shapes should be of interest to artists and virtual-reality system programmers who create graphically rich, explorable three-dimensional worlds

    Roger F Malina, Clifford A PickoverARTICLELeonardo1991

    From the Publisher: Combining fractal theory with startling computer art, this book reveals an entirely new way of seeing. Part I introduces computer graphics and the creative use of computers. Part II describes various graphical methods for representing and detecting patterns in complicated data. Part III illustrates simple techniques for visualizing chaotic behavior. Over 275 illustrations, 29 in color

  • On the Aesthetics of Sierpinski Gaskets Formed from Large Pascal's Triangles

    Clifford A PickoverARTICLELeonardo1990

    The mathematical characterization of patterns in Pascal’s triangle is useful and can be achieved by a variety of brute-force computations, but sometimes at a cost of the loss of an intuitive feeling for the regularities and irregularities in the structure. The graphic and mathematical approach described here reveals a visually striking and intricate class of patterns that make up a family of regular fractal networks known as Sierpinski gaskets. T…

  • How to Design Textures Using Recursive Composite Functions

    Clifford A PickoverARTICLELeonardo1989Citada por: 1

    Computer graphics can be used to represent complicated mathematical behavior and structures. The purpose of this report is to show how mathematical functions can be used to create a variety of visually appealing textures. Several illustrations are chosen as examples of the diversity of structures that result from this technique

  • Mathematics and Beauty

    Clifford A PickoverARTICLELeonardo1988Citada por: 1

    Computers with graphics can be used to produce visual representations of complicated physical and mathematical structures and phenomena. This paper presents an overview of spiral geometry in mathematics, nature, physics, civilization and art, with an emphasis on novel spiral forms created by the author. ‘Recipes’ for both traditional and nontraditional spirals are given. The computer-generated patterns are of interest artistically and mathematica…
