Fermat’s Spiral Mandalas
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores Fermat's Spiral as a method to create circular point figures. It traces previous research into the variety of patterns created by the Fermat's Spiral based on a variety different angle intervals and number of points that control the scale of the figure and the packing of the spiral. Finally, a procedure of combining a series of spirals is proposed to form a mandala.

Empirical Study on the Healing Nature of Mandalas
Mandalas were first used in therapy by Carl Jung, who found that the act of drawing mandalas had a calming effect on patients while at the same time facilitating psychic integration. There is a scarcity of controlled empirical studies of the healing impact of mandalas on mental health. Based on the efficacy of James Pennebaker’s written disclosure paradigm in promoting mental well-being (Penneb...
متن کاملEffects of Coloring Mandalas on State-Anxiety Reduction with a Focus on Big-Five Personality Traits
The present two-part study examined the effects of coloring mandalas on state anxiety reduction with considerations of duration spent coloring and Big-5 personality traits. It was hypothesized that coloring mandalas for 30 minutes would significantly reduce levels of state anxiety. There were three coloring conditions that were randomly assigned to 105 participants. Measures included a Spielber...
متن کاملFermat's Spiral and the Line Between Yin and Yang
Let D denote a disk of unit area. We call a set A ⊂ D perfect if it has measure 1/2 and, with respect to any axial symmetry of D, the maximal symmetric subset of A has measure 1/4. We call a curve β in D an yin-yang line if • β splits D into two congruent perfect sets, • β crosses each concentric circle of D twice, • β crosses each radius of D once. We prove that Fermat’s spiral is a unique yin...
متن کاملExtension and Generalization of Fermat’s Little Theorem to the Gaussian Integers
It can . . . come as a bit of a shock to meet your first non-obvious theorem, which will typically be Fermat’s Little Theorem. — Dominic Yeo [10] The non-obviousness of Fermat’s Little Theorem is the most interesting part of any introductory number theory course. We are therefore motivated to determine if Fermat’s Little Theorem can be extended to the Gaussian integers, as many other useful pro...
متن کاملFermat’s Last Theorem for Regular Primes
Fermat famously claimed in the margin of a book that a certain family of Diophantine equations have no solutions in integers. For over 300 years Fermat’s claim remained unsolved, and it provided motivation for many important developments in algebraic number theory. We will develop some of the foundational ideas of modern algebraic number theory in the context of Fermat’s Last Theorem, and sketc...
