This site is for maths students and amateurs who enjoy exploring maths, music, and acoustics. I am not a professional mathematician, musician nor artist, so there are no high-powered research papers here -- just the work of an enthusiast.

The latest additions include some paintings and drawings plus

1) Drawing in perspective: How simple objects appear when drawn accurately. This includes a section on how computer graphics software rotates an object, plus an account of non-linear perspective using the map projections. A supporting article describes spherical triangles,

2) A simple question about a ladder leaning against a wall which leads to intriguing maths of ellipses and the astroid curve.

3) An attempt to find the largest sofa which can be manoeuvred round a 90 degree corner in a corridor (with animation). This is supported by statistics on the error in measuring the area of an arbitrary plane figure by counting the number of lattice points inside it.
