Finally, one student *really* wanted to make a pattern with signature 2*22. since I had not provided them with reflected copies of the original image, this student took to making their own thing. I think these tiles look a lot like David, if you hang out and have dinner with him
7/n

We even got a copy of the signature O pattern where only translations are present
6/n

and more rotational symmetries with a 442 and a 333
5/n

and a few with signature 2222
4/n

But we did get to real work here are some patterns with signature 632
3/n

I gave the students many copies of David's profile picture. I told them he was my nemesis, being a younger and more successful version of me, and that I needed help trolling him by using this image. One student took the hint and started with this update

some days feel like a bad spiral
but you can always try to do something small and under your own control
So I made stickers to hand out to my number theory class

also, I have to share these caricatures of Legendre and
Fourier.
maybe those should be the class sticker to hand out at the end of the term

been doing hw exercises to prep for next term's PDE class. Damn Fourier series are magical.

teaching about the system of the Lorenz equations this week. got my history & links ready yesterday, so today I'm making fancy pictures
#having_fun

been discussing the ideal pendulum in differential equations this week, so I got to draw these fun pictures
