#Noisevember! I revisited the Littlewood polynomial sound from day 2 of Noisevember. I thought to investigate a different sort of polynomial. Here, instead of polynomials with coefficients all ±1, the polynomials have coefficient ±1/(n+1) on the x^n term. As before, all roots of all such 15th degree polynomials are considered. (I really should create a gallery of these root plots so we can easily compare them.) Along the way, I realized I was making an error with the way I created "random" stereo that introduced a bunch of unneeded noise. So that's something! I'll have to go back and replace the Littlewood polynomial sound. soundcloud.com/matthew-m-conro…
Here's a plot of the roots (essentially the spectrogram of the sound).

Daina Taimina, a Cornell University mathematician of Latvian origin uses crochet to demonstrate Hyperbolic Geometry #womensart #mathematics
"Invented as a teaching tool in 1997 and successfully used in many high school and college geometry classrooms, starting in 2005 Taimina’s crocheted hyperbolic planes have since been in some 30 invited exhibits and several solo shows around the world – including the Smithsonian Institution"
