Math was never fun for me so I appreciate it when people try and make it so. For instance, Kasia Jackowska and her Drawing Mathematics series. She illustrated math concepts through animal forms and had them published by the Department of Mathematics of the University of Warsaw. Just don’t ask me to identify them.

According to Tumblrer I Ship It Like UPS, as documented by a suite of photos, nobody asked her to prom, so she decided to take somebody who’d had a real and lasting effect on her academic progress: her TI-84.
I have to admit: it’s a pretty snazzy dresser.

It’s a well known maxim that nobody wants to be a redshirt on Star Trek: The Original Series. The proud members of Operations, Engineering, and Security are the space-expendables, the first line of defense, the… well the ones who always get sent down with the away party full of more important characters and get murdered by the space monster of the week. Like, all the time. But what if, instead of considering this from the viewer’s perspective, you considered it from the perspective of a crewman choosing a line of work? What if you’re just a redshirt, and not “this episode’s redshirt?”
Matthew Barsalou took this perspective and applied math to it, and lets just say that Kirk, Chekov, and Sulu might not be to happy about it.

Can you recognize this just from looking at it? If you can, high five, because I got it too. It’s an embroidery design inspired by NASA photographs of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, by Pardalote on Tumblr. They’ve got a lot of their beautiful work up on their blog but this, and another STEM oriented one caught our attention. It’s a beautiful embroidered Voronoi diagram!

We all know cooking requires math (unless you’re my mother, in which case it’s “ohh, about this much salt, that much flour”) but have you ever thought of creating a meal revolving around math? Victoria Hart, aka Vi Hart, has done just that with some Thanksgiving themed videos. Watch here as she makes Mathed Potatoes and hit the jump for how to make Borromean Onion Rings and Green Bean Matherole.

ViHart shows us all how to make a hexafelxagon burrito. Either I’m hungry, or this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Or both. Look, if you’re not going to eat the edges of that tortilla, can I?

If I’d known about these in high school, it would have significantly expanded my paper plaything repertoire of origami frogs, goldfish, and fortune tellers. Educate yourself.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
