Interactivity, Fidelity, and Polish: Building Modern Math Illustration

By Cruz Godar

Visual representations of mathematical concepts are as old or older than the subject itself, but the use of technology as a medium remains nascent in comparison. The rapidly changing environment of screen sizes, input methods, and computational abilities presents a challenging space to enter, but also offers one of the most compelling and effective ways to communicate mathematical concepts directly. Over the past eight years, I have created nearly 50 web applets for visualizing math — ranging from art to teaching aids to tools for mathematicians and hobbyists — and I have been fortunate to see my work meet with a wide audience. In this talk, I share the most important lessons I have learned for creating and maintaining beautiful, engaging, and functional mathematical renderings, with the goal of helping people already in the space improve their work and convincing many more to join.
