EDITORS COMMENTS
This mesmerizing print captures a Lissajous figure generated by two frequencies, one of which is 12 times the other. The intricate curves and patterns created by these intersecting frequencies are known as Lissajous curves, named after French mathematician Jules-Antoine Lissajous who studied them in 1857. Lissajous figures, sometimes referred to as Bowditch curves after Nathaniel Bowditch, are a fascinating example of the beauty and complexity that can arise from mathematical principles. These parametric equations create visually stunning shapes that have captivated mathematicians and artists alike for centuries. The study of Lissajous figures not only showcases the elegance of mathematics but also highlights the interconnectedness of different disciplines such as calculus and numeracy. In this image from the 19th century, we see a glimpse into the world of mathematical exploration during a time when groundbreaking discoveries were being made in various fields. As we admire this historical artifact, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of science and its ability to inspire wonder and curiosity. The delicate balance between artistry and precision captured in this print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of mathematical inquiry throughout history.
