I ran across the Wikipedia article on Littlewood polynomials. It has a plot of all the roots of the degree 15 polynomials, that looks very nice. I thought I would create an animation showing the roots for degree 1, degree 2, etc. I also thought maybe I'd add a plot of the roots for something with degree higher than 15. Here is the degree 16 plot (this is reduced to 25% of the original image). It took 2 hours in Sage on my laptop, so I might try 17, even 18 - who knows? I have the thought that I ought to be able to reduce the precision, and this ought to speed things up a lot (since for plotting much lower precision than the default is needed). I don't particularly like blue, though: I'll have to try other colors.

A plot of all roots of all Littlewood polynomials of degree 16. They form a rough ring around zero, with little filigree type bits around the edges.

“In 1968 #HP introduced their first plotter - the 9125A flatbed #plotter - designed to be used with the 9100 #calculator and connected to the I/O slot at the back. This plotter famously made an appearance in the 1971 movie “The #AndromedaStrain”. After the 9125A, HP continued designing new plotters based on the original #9125A design until 1977.”

“The 9125A was the companion plotter for the 9100 calculator. This single-pen plotter connected to the I/O slot at the back of the 9100. The 9125A had a plotting surface of ten inches by 15 inches and employed electrostatic paper hold down.” Engineers in suits, pencils poised over an HP 9125A plotter hooked up to a HP 9100 calculator. source https://hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=82

Writing Cliffhangers or Not… #IWSG
Question: Do you write cliffhangers at the end of your stories? Are they a turn-off to you as a writer and/or a reader?

Let's talk about cliffhangers, or rather what is meant by them. To me there are two different type of cliffhangers that end books. There are books that feel like the author lost the last half of the story because it c

@georgebaily let's not go down that #rabbitHole just yet.

Though, I've been playing way more #whackamole lately than I can ever #remember

Let us not #forget the 5th of #November

No #GuyFawkes #mask necessary, it only sends the wrong message. Let's not create more #Noise than required.

#humans have a hard enough #time #listening as it is!

#covid afforded everyone the luxury of #plotting their #destruction

Now, they're ready to, 3, 2, 1 #execute
