Heron’s Formula
Maybe we should start naming all math formulas and theorems after birds. This one wouldn’t have to change under this new renaming… I do love being able to find an area of a triangle given the lengths of its sides. Heron’s formula information: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/HeronsFormula.html
Cantor Set Zine
This is Fractal Kitty’s first zine! I was inspired by the public math website. Some wonderful zines from @becky_k_warren and @Ayliean are on there.

Locomotive Rose Art
The equations used to produce these plots are in the family of rose curves. This particular form is composed of two curves added together.
