danaleeling: Cubic bezier sine wave in SVG

http://danaleeling.blogspot.com/2015/07/cubic-bezier-sine-wave-in-svg.html

Musings and notes around and about learning. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Cubic bezier sine wave in SVG. In the past I generated the Scalable Vector Graphics path for a sine wave by using a sine function and inputting x values. This summer I found that a cubic bezier could generate a cosine curve using just the points at the crest and trough, with control points at 0.1875*wavelength and 0.3125*wavelength. Those values were visually determined, not mathematically obtained. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

danaleeling: Mathematics only in a context

http://danaleeling.blogspot.com/2015/07/mathematics-only-in-context.html

Musings and notes around and about learning. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. Mathematics only in a context. I tried a slight twist on the last laboratory of the summer session. I walked into the room empty handed and then began an abstract lecture on site swap mathematics. Julie-Ann, one tennis ball out-of-shot high above. Cherish, three ball juggle under control. I then explained that mathematical models, mathematical systems, should never be introduced as abstract systems without a context. I noted my own...
