Description
In engineering a problem is considered and then tools lined up to solve it. In the artisan tradition of craft the tool is asked what it can do. Just as mathematics is often a curiosity driven research, different ways of experiencing mathematics can reveal different aspects of it, and we might not know what might be revealed until we have explored the ideas. Mathematics is often involved in the details of understanding what we are seeing. In this talk I will show illustrations of lattices and flows on lattices using shaders, some of the math that goes into creating and understanding them and how this is leading to faster images of algebraic numbers.
