Summary:
A kaleidoscope based on polynomials. Trippy.
Description:
Did you ever wonder what the world looks like through a holomorphic function?
No? What is a holomorphic function in the first place?
Don't worry! You need to know nothing about all this to use the app. Just touch the screen and see the math!
The Poleidoscope shows a rectangular domain of the plane of complex numbers. The user puts the roots and poles of a complex rational function on the screen and this function is then used to deflect the live camera picture.
The app is supposed to provide some insight into the geometry of holomorphic functions and allow to develop a feeling for complex polynomials.
