A chatGpt explainer
(found this in my drafts from Aug 2, 2023) A surprisingly good book, it explains things well and graphically -- don't be thrown off by its use of Mathematica!…

Fun with roots and series
Came across this bit of high-school math with series/roots: It's straightforward, lots of paper-and-pen solutions in that thread. Something like Wolfram Mathematica makes it much easier: The…
Circle Art
Some simple, quick, random (yet, it should be pointed out in this age of Dall-E, deliberate and human-made) art featuring colored circles: circles := Table[{RandomColor[], Disk[{RandomInteger[{…
On "butterfly" curves
A Wolfram Mathematica notebook inspired by this wikipedia article. (sadly, can't embed it properly, so a screenshot will have to do)…
Plotting diamonds
More Wolfram Mathematica fun, when my daughter wanted to make a "diamond shape" in "hot pink". Here's the "source of truth": And here's the rendering in Mathema…
Geometrick T-shirts
I had a T-shirt with a certain pattern that was fading out. I didn't know at the time that this had a name, and later learned it was a geometrical pattern that had certain interesting connections.…
Polar Primes
This "five minutes of Wolfram Language" exercise can be surprisingly therapeutic :-) I had come across something interesting today: However, I then wanted to try it out on my own. These…
Wolfram Language "dashboards"
Playing around with Mathematica for a few minutes. Or rather, using it to play around. I'm trying to figure out the "least B.S." portions of "web3/defi/whatever". So far, a l…
First bit of computational art
Just a tiny thing right now, but what matters is ... it's quick, relaxing and ... yes, fun. And here's the (short) notebook that made it.…
Advent-of-code 2021
Using Wolfram Mathematica for this is more satisfying than it should be https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/agam.brahmawolfram/Published/AOC%202021.nb It was shockingly easy to do all this. * REPL/N…
"Digits of Pi"
Saw a recent post on how "digits of Pi add up to 666" and decided to investigate. These days I'm finding Mathematica super-useful for stuff like this, so: That does NOT add up. But th…
Prime Palindromes
Came across this on the "Programming Praxis" blog I thought I'd use something other than a "typical" programming language, by which I mean not "an esoteric language"…
