mathematics, programming
Will be continued.
The theme of this research seminar is "mathematics and computer" in a broad sense. In the fall semester, we focus on "visualization" and study visual expressions based on mathematical principles.
In the fall semester, we will first learn the basic concept of generative art by reading "Generative art created by mathematics" by T. Hayama (the book is only available in Japanese). We will run a reading seminar where every student reads, writes and contributes to the discussion. The topics include continued fraction, Fermat spiral, semi-regular tiling, Penrose tiling etc.
After basic learning has been completed, there are various options depending on students' interests and backgrounds. One can pursue visualization of mathematical phenomena or generative aspects of visual expression. Another interesting option is to study both the mathematical and practical aspects of GAN (Generative Adversarial Network).
