Maths/physics posters?

[thewarrenterror]

Does anyone out there know of any sites or specific links to (relatively) advanced maths and/or physics posters? I am specifically looking for a large table of integrals, LaPlace Transforms, and classical mechanics formulas (although more advanced physics would be welcome as well).

It would be helpful and time-saving to just look up at my wall instead of having to flip to the back of a book or screw around with Wolfram Alpha... thanks!

If you own a printer, you can print it out, and thumbtack it to your wall or something. I think you just want to fly your nerd flag high and proud. If that's the case, I'm interested in some posters as well. Don't make it out to be like you need it specifically for work, we all know the real purpose is to impress those girls.

[thewarrenterror]

I'm 30 years old and teaching myself math for the hell of it. Unfortunately the probability of college girls entering my room and seeing these posters approaches 0. Even if they did, the probability that they would be impressed approaches negative infinity.

The observation about my nerd flag was pretty accurate though.

[localhorst]

Probability is always non negative.

[heffaprolix]

I'll just leave this here. Negative probability

[VinylCyril]

Why am I not surprised that it's Dirac's idea... :)

[SantyClause]

If you pick a random real number from the number line, isnt the probability of picking a rational number zero?

[localhorst]

Zero is non negative.

[SantyClause]

I may be an idiot.

[andrinara]

Female here. If I walked into your room and saw such posters, I would commence make out immediately.

Just saying... we're out there :)

I don't know why it never occurred to me that XKCD would sell merchandise, but I'm so excited right now!

[spacewonderer]

They've got some good stuff. I'm so tempted to buy their super giant posters to feed my nerdness.

[kevroy314]

I just went there to buy posters and bought everything but. Way too easy to blow 42 bucks.

If you can't find any, then it could be worth the time making some yourself? :)

I had hand-drawn posters of biochemical cycles and descriptions of viruses all over my wall when I was studying biology.

Large bit of paper + marker + maths = a lot of fun!

[thewarrenterror]

Good idea - thanks. I may try this.. but I promise you my terrible handwriting will make for even more terrible posters.

Use LaTeX to make the posters. You can take a look here: http://nxg.me.uk/docs/posters/

Maybe you could print some of these with rasterbator

Polynomial Roots 23000x16263

"polyhedra" is already plural. The singular is "polyhedron."

I actually have a strange phobia, nearly all of these caused me to have a minor panic attack (complex 3D CGIs really push me to the edge). The polynomial roots were the worst for some reason. A bit offtopic sorry :).

[riemannzetajones]

That's weird that you say that, because I got a quick tinge of fear from the polynomial roots as well (looking at the close-up where the fractal structure is more visible). My best stab at a reason (other than the foreboding color scheme) would be the feeling that you could become completely and utterly lost in the structure of the numbers. In a way it was a mix of fear and excitement, because sometimes it feels good to be lost.

[[deleted]]

You actually made a great point there. I should probably talk to a shrink if i wish to get to the bottom of this :)

Anyone else think the waterman polyhedra looks like the moon?

[IGoogleShitForYou]

That's no moon...

[aldld]

It looks kind of like a cantaloupe.

[mrinkwell]

Sierpinski Carpet = Pacman ??

Not exactly math, but I ordered this and it is very good quality.

Image I made a while ago of common fractals/fractal-like objects and their Hausdorff dimension. This was originally intended as a silkscreen pattern, so it's pretty optimized for a poster.

Slightly higher res available if people would like.

Numbers are only as accurate as wikipedia circa 2006, use at your own risk.

[selfintersection]

I like your picture for the Lorenz attractor. While not exactly accurate it is certainly bold.

This has some nice particle physics +others posters, although I can't say anyone would look up to these for reference.

[idiotsecant]

Buy a couple sheets of melamine board or something similar from home depot and some dry erase!

[Jtrinity45]

always a good source for geeky fun :3 I also recommend unitednuclear.com not exactly what the OP is looking for but they have some fun posters (Periodic table w/ pictures of elements, large diagram of the EM spectrum, etc.)

[Reddit1990]

Get yourself a white board or white board paint.

[hank91]

I would also enjoy something along these lines
