...making my freshman seminar class next year to be about tilings and tessellations, and force myself to learn this math deeply. So @mattz.bsky.social's resources could not have been posted at a better time! Difference is, he certainly knows what the fuck he is doing, I certainly do not 🤣.

New #MathArt sculptures: reaction-diffusion Truchet tilings of the sphere! These are made from 3D-printed nylon and each individual tile can be removed/replaced. If you think these look cool or interesting, stick around to learn a little bit about how they were made and the math behind them... 🧵
