The Math Flow

The Bakhshali manuscript (an ancient Indian mathematical text) is the world's earliest recorded origin of the symbol 'zero'(shunya-bindu).

Everyone knows velocity and acceleration, the first and second derivatives of the position vector. But keep differentiating, and the names get strange: Jerk, Snap, Crackle, and Pop.

@Mattformal tell me, we will discuss that.

@TheMathFlow Doubt it.

Visualising the Sum of an Infinite Geometric Series.

@oprydai These are shock diamonds they got produced in the exhaust when the CD nozzle of the rocket is overextended.

i don’t know much about rockets. so i have a geniune question: what are those diamonds called? and is there a mathematical model for simulating them?

@dr_daniel_dmd Thanks for the appreciation.🙏

@TheMathFlow This is awesome. I’m struggling to wrap my mind around it.

The Geometry Behind Trigonometry’s Most Famous Formula.

Fibonacci Spiral Clock.

@Daniel_J_Im The beauty is captivating. :)

@TheMathFlow I just like starring at it

Visualization of equation: 1 + tan² (θ) = sec² (θ).

@Math_files Because of radiations…☢️

Most dangerous notebook on the planet.

Topologically, how many holes does a doughnut (torus) actually have? 🍩

@asieders That must be a genuine response.

@TheMathFlow Pythagoras

@lump_t Mathematics is full of such wonders.

@TheMathFlow Kind of astonishing that a circle could hide inside a circle.

Every Curve Hiding Inside a Circle.

@rahul_p_sharma No, i think you can draw that circle at any radius, and the traced curve would be identical.

@TheMathFlow Are these different shapes possible due to the different size of circle each time?

@mohith5019 It has to be so.

@TheMathFlow That's sweet and crazy to hear

Is 73 the most perfect number in existence? It’s the 21st prime. Its mirror (37) is the 12th prime. Its digits multiply to 21. And in binary, it's a perfect palindrome (1001001).

@greengrandma5 That will be a damn good age to be in.

@TheMathFlow See, now I am excited & looking forward to reaching the age of 73 in 2.5 years!!! Thank you. ❤️ And yes, I will be calling myself perfect all goddamned year. 😂🤣

Hyperbola: Slice the cone completely vertically, cutting through both the top and bottom cones simultaneously. You get a two-piece open curve known as a Hyperbola.

Ellipse: Tilt your cutting plane just a little bit, and that perfect circle stretches out into an Ellipse.

All conic sections are born from slicing a simple double cone. Here is how it works:👇
