Polynomiography
If you find mathematics dull, hard to imagine; there is a breath of fresh air for you called Polynomiography which could make things look interesting for you. If you love math then there is more to explore in polynomiography....
Polynomiography is a new field of math, which deals with visualizing polynomials....
The above figure is not created by an artist but it is
Polynomiography a new field discovered by Dr. Bahman Kalantari at Rutgers is a confluence of math, art and comp science. One of the important applications of this field is to make Math even more interesting from a education point of view (to school kids), other application could be to create new design cards, animations and visualization... If you are interested you can check more info here, here is a SIGGRAPH paper whichis worth reading !!
There is software in this site which is fun to play with.

Kovai,
Apparently some of these plots are fractals....
"it isn't correct to say that the graph on the post is a polynomial"
Yes, point noted, I meant to say that these are visualization of roots of a polynomial.it skipped out of my sleepy mind :) I will correct them !!
"was just wondering, how can someone be credited with "discovering" this field... "
Stuff like these might have been there for sometime, but it is he who has taken such and established a domain with some applications....
Though Antonio Meucci invented the telephone a before Mr. Bell..we still recognize Mr. Bell for he was the one to file patent and making it official....
Did not want to bring in a controversy but just drawing an anology to provide justification !

Glad you found it interesting
Kovai
Apparently i too have started doing some math stuff....will keep you updated about those in future post...
"you've inspired me...."
Guess you should thank Dr. Kalantari who 'discovered' this field :)
Awesome "Food 4 Thought". Keep these goodies information coming along.
first time, interesting posts.

Glad you liked it

u just gave me an added reason to study math,
good stuff! keep 'em comin
