Applying algorithms to ripples is as necessary in art as in science. Those applied by artists are invisible and unconscious but omnipresent. I googled for measurements to better understand M. C. Escher’s linogravure (1950)
Cercles dans eau in relation to
Andrew Davidhazy's photographs of the ripple effect of a drop disturbing the calm surface of a body of water. I wanted to compare the measurements for the angles at which both these images were captured. I had layered them but they were not the same at all.
When professor Mikhail Nesterenko describes
wave algorithms his descriptions are written in the language of mathematics, engineering physics, and computer science but it resonates like poetry:
