In this first episode of Anion The Future I am joined by Professor Sue Gregory to discuss the future of education.

Here is the python code for some math art (“SMArt”) used in the video.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation

x_data = []
y_data = []

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_xlim(-200, 200)
ax.set_ylim(-200,200)
line, = ax.plot(0,0)
r=1.2

def animation_frame(i):
    x_data.append(-r*i*np.cos(i*i)-i*np.cos(i))
    y_data.append(r*i*np.sin(i*i)+i*np.sin(i))

    line.set_xdata(x_data)
    line.set_ydata(y_data)
    line.set_linewidth(0.3)
    return line,


animation = FuncAnimation(fig, func=animation_frame, frames=np.arange(0, 132, 0.001), interval=40, blit=True)


#animation.save('E1.mp4', dpi=400, bitrate=-1, codec="libx264", extra_args=['-pix_fmt','yuv420p'])
plt.show()
print("done")
