Computacional geometry and computer graphics are subjects I rarely play with, but I like their connection with the real matter. Today in
CosmoCaixa museum I found mathematical
equation for a croissant. That was quite amazing - full exhibition devoted for
math and equations
describing natural shapes. I see croissants often in Spain and I have to admit that I never thought about their shape as a mathematical expression.
This can be
ordered like that:
This can be
expressed as:
and be
calculated with use of:
I wouldn't recommend to find solutions for this equation in Ruby, so the example is in
ECLiPSe CLP. It is a great tool (environment) for solving contraint logic problems. It's also
fun. For me.
