Make Your Own Circle Packing Ornaments Part II: Generating a random circle packing in koebepy.

This post is part II of a three part series. Several years ago I collaborated with my friend and colleague, JMU mathematician (and all around 3D printing empress extraordinaire) Laura Taalman (known to many as mathgrrl) on a set of circle packing ornaments for Christmas. Recently, I saw this great video of the production ofContinue reading “Make Your Own Circle Packing Ornaments Part II: Generating a random circle packing in koebepy.”

Combinatorial tilings from finite subdivision rules

In this blog post I give an overview of infinite tilings generated using finite subdivision rules and show some koebepy that creates them. If you haven’t already, you may want to install koebepy. In a future post I plan to give a more in-depth tutorial on how to compute tilings using koebepy with this postContinue reading “Combinatorial tilings from finite subdivision rules”
