[funny Math Art] Guess What's Inside? (answers Included)


Recommended Posts

Posted

 

The surface in above image is a portion of the graph of

some mathematical equation.

 

Let's do some brainstorming:

Can you guess what's inside the surface?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answers:

 

A funny 3D image:

 

A funny curve:

 

The above graphics were created completely using math formulas and math softwares.

Posted

Hint:

 

Consider the intersection of a horizontal plane with the surface.

 

The intersection consists of a family of funny curves.

(An example curve is shown below. It has nothing to do with the answer.)

 

Cut off the upper surface above the horizontal plane to get a funny 3D image.

 

(This curve is obtained from another surface.)

mmmm....how, in the most practical sense, do i/we make that cut? since we don't know the equation, we'd need some drawing software, oui/no? should we be able to do it in our heads? :reallyconfused:

 

anyway, is it bunny rabbits? words? flipping the bird? :shrug: a turtle? :turtle:

I don't know.

 

Here are some curves roughly in the shape of the surface:

 

 

without the background:

 

 

Are we supposed to be guessing the equation that generated it? That sounds about impossible.

EDIT---->

 

Still no idea, but here is another rendition:

We might as well be trying to guess which flavours you'll choose, next time at the icecream shop.

:lol:

Maybe he left his avatar as a hint, notice how it incorporates vesica piscis. You never know, anything is possible...

A belated welcome to hypograph, benice! :)

 

The surface in above image is a portion of the graph of

some mathematical equation.

I'm more intrigued by the mention of the image being the graph (in 3 dimensions, it appears) of an equation than by trying to guess what might be inside its outer surface.

 

Can you give us the equation :QuestionM

I can't give you the equation.
