What’s new? (111028)

What’s old: [Travelogues] || [Art] || [Editorial] || [Mathematical Figures] || [Words] || [MSI Tips]

Travelogues

(churlish notes sent from hotel rooms, mostly true)

Art

(for want of a better word)

Editorial

Mathematical Figures

Fractals and Chaos

Combinatorics

Misc. Me

Frankly, you’ve passed everything that could possibly be of interest to someone who isn’t me; what’s below is primarily for the benefit of everyone except everyone-except-me.

Words

Hobbies

¡¡¡Make Robert Smarter!!!

Heck, BE Robert!

What’s new (from this millennium, anyway):

111028: Added Coin fountains page.
110326: Added Unlabeled stamp foldings page.
110313: Added Lah numbers page.
110227: Added Counting Lattice Paths page.
110220: Added Narayana numbers page.
110213: Ditto, permutations page.
110206: Added partition refinement lattice to the Bell numbers page.
110205: Spruced up the Stirling numbers of the second kind page, not that you’d notice.
110122: Added Self-avoiding loops.
110101: Added Schoenberg plane-filling curve.
101224–31: Bringing some math figures back home, with thanks to The Math Forum for hosting older versions for all these years. Fixed some errors, introduced others.
101212: Updated long-unawaited self-avoiding path figures.
100801: Added giant redundant figures for 4×2 and 5×2 labeled map foldings.
100801: Linked to Mathematica Demonstrations for labeled stamp foldings and labeled map foldings. Fixed some obvious errors, which is depressing since it proves nobody reads these.
100711: More of the same: added labels to labeled map foldings.
100328: More of the same: figures showing labeled map foldings.
100321: Figures showing labeled stamp foldings.
091230: Placeholder recursive images.
091212: Drawing ovals using a pencil, three nails, and some string.
081116: Fractal Wunderlich curves in 2D and 3D.
080629: World premiere of fractal 3D Sierpinski arrowhead curve.
080622: Fractal Sierpinski arrowhead curve and friends in 2D.
080511: Hilbert and Moore curves in 2D and 3D. Deleted quaint page-size notations (75K, 15K, and all that).
080426: Lebesgue curves (and friends), Lebesgue curves in 3D.
080403: Now this is just silly, but finally posted most likely final travelogue from 2006: A Room with a View of a Room.
080203: Added Schröder numbers, other updates to Delannoy, Schröder, and Motzkin numbers. Oh, and happy new year.
061231: Updated misc. MSI tips and notes. Oh, and happy new year.
060526: New stairstep-tiling interpretation of Catalan numbers.
060523: SVG versions of some Euler zigzag paths and Fibonacci tilings.
060514: SVG versions of some Delannoy/Schröder paths.
060430: Working on SVG versions of some math graphics (Catalan number and Motzkin number diagrams, for example). Watch this space.
050228: Disappointing new batch: When the Going Gets Tough, Tough, Interchangeable, and In Other Words...
050226: Disappointing reconstruction: Motor Skills.
050103: Working on involuntary travelogues When the Going Gets Tough, Tough and In Other Words... Watch this space.
040221: New facts and figures, words and numbers, dates and times, misc. cleanup.
030517: Exeunt: Flavor of the Decade.
030419: Almost there: The Next Big Nothing.
030413: Double revision: Untrainable (Dec. 2000), Tri-State (Oct. 2001).
030126: Need Anything? (from Feb. 2002; I’m semi-retired now, so for the foreseeable future these notes will be reconstructed from sleep-deprived memories.)
021027: Travel story, better lost than found: Signs.
021005: Nothing much: more good and bad words, general travelogue cleanup (with some new bonus stories hidden throughout).
020727: I can’t keep up! Here with the Wind, Trainerspotting.
020717: Say Uncle!
020714: I notice a pattern forming: Ne Pas Déranger.
020409: Updated failures.
020330: Started Lost Arts page.
020224: Some math corrections: fixed the Fibonacci formula, fixed the Lozi Attractor’s aspect ratio (though not the Hénon Attractor’s), and fixed the 5D paths to avoid taking shortcuts.
011210: Not worth the wait: two-parter Canadian Beauty and Encore Une Fois.
011117: From Denver: No Size Fits All.
011112: From Dallas, August: Artist Descending a Fire Escape.
011020: Tale from New York City: Being Here, Doing This.
010623: Relatives of the Sierpinski gasket. And before I forget: Requiem for a Lightweight.
