I posted on #Soliton interactions in the #Korteweg-deVries #Equation yesterday with an #Animation of how two #SolitaryWaves interact. The #PhaseShift experienced by both can also be seen in a static #3D plot with time, t, plotted on one axis. You should be able to see a “dog-leg” in the trajectory of each wave after it interacts with the other.

**Descartes’ Mathematics**
“_In La Géométrie, Descartes details a groundbreaking program for geometrical problem-solving—what he refers to as a “geometrical calculus” (calcul géométrique)—that rests on a distinctive approach to the relationship between algebra and geometry._”
Domski, Mary, “Descartes’ Mathematics”, The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Summer 2025 Edition), Edward N. Zalta & Uri Nodelman (eds.), forthcoming URL = <https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/sum2025/entries/descartes-mathematics/>.
A subtlety probably difficult to spot in the animation is that the interaction of the two waves leaves them phase shifted, with the taller wave gaining position, while the shorter one loses it. This further animation shows the interactions again (purple) but I’ve also shown what would happen if each wave moved without interaction with the other (red and blue).
Here is an example taken from Solitons: an introduction by Drazin & Johnson, where taller wave overtakes a shorter one moving in the same direction.

When you start looking at #NonlinearWaves, some of these principles no longer apply. For example, in the Korteweg-de Vries equation, which has #Soliton or solutions, you can no longer simply add two solutions together as the resulting function would not be a solution of the governing equation. Waves of different heights travel at different velocities, with the taller waves moving faster than the shorter ones. Instead, they interact #nonlinearly.

Also, waves of different heights travel at different velocities, with the taller waves moving faster than the shorter ones.
2/4
In #FluidMechanics, things like #SurfaceWaves are often modelled using #LinearEquations, which give rise to phenomena such as the principle of #LinearSuperposition, where you can take two or more distinct solutions and simply add them together to get a new solution. Solutions are also periodic and can be decomposed into sinusoidal functions.

#Math #Maths #Mathematics I get maths students coming to me in their last year of high school not having learnt the main reason we use radians rather than degrees
Essentially, calculus.
E.g. the derivative of a trig function where the variable is in radians, is simpler/cleaner than in degrees, for example:
If x is in radians then
d/dx (sin x) = cos x
In degrees:
d/dx (sin x) = (pi/180) cos x
The extra factor of (pi/180) makes things messy.

...Suddenly three became an infinity. Maths is often like this and I think it’s generally a hint that one is moving in the right direction.

I recall learning about the quaternions surprisingly early in life and becoming somewhat obsessed with them and other related algebras I managed to discover along the way all of which seemed to provide sensible finite numbers of solutions to various problems; then suddenly realising one day, some years later, that Hamilton had not only found three square roots of minus one but that *every point* on the unit imaginary sphere is a square root of minus one...

"How do we know that a particular set of postulates, say those of elementary algebra, will never lead to a contradiction? The answer to this disposes once and for all of the hoary myth of absolute truth for the conclusions of pure mathematics. We do not know [...] that a particular set of postulates is self-consistent and that it will never lead to a contradiction." – Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960)

Two tilings of tangent circles for #TilingTuesday .
#MathArt #tiling #Mathematics
Yesterday was day 1 of the 3 day International Meeting of the STACK community.
It was inspiring to be around so many smart people working on improving #maths education. There was good coverage of the use of JSXGraph for creating questions with graphics that students can interact with . Recent developments in Large Language Models and #AI have made it much easier to create the #Javascript code required for #JSXGraph .
This morning I boosted (then rescinded) an image purporting to show how a circle is distorted on Mercator projections. In hindsight it should have been obvious, but it reminded me how easy it is for misinformation (or worse, disinformation) to spread, and how it gets a headstart on truth.
So, here I am trying to atone for my error by linking to a more accurate presentation of the distortion, and hopefully helping the truth catch up:
