“Sharpen the twofold gaze, perception and sight”
Miyamoto Musashi
I am a mathematics graduate student at NYU. I had originally intended to use this blog to explore good visualizations of scientific or mathematical ideas primarily. I have decided to re-purpose it to contain the sort of issues I am interested in as a knowledge worker primarily interested in mathematics.
I found your site in looking at math and visualization. Even with the repurpose, will you still talk about this. There is some interesting stuff about
the visual brain and mathematics that doesn’t seem to get alot of time on
the internet.
BTW, I like your Musashi quote. Here’s a sort-of-analogous quote from 5th centure Ireland:
What is faster than the wind. … Thought.
What is sharper than the sword. … Understanding.
Another twofold gaze?
Hi Bob, thanks for the quote! Yeah, I am still into visualizations. Unfortunately, producing nice ones can take quite a bit of time. So, I don’t get to do this sort of work as often as I would like.
