Visualization of curvature on curve and surface by tangential angle parametrization
We propose a unified method to visualize curvature on planar curves and surfaces of revolution using the tangential angle parameter. For plane curves, placing markers at equal increments of the tangential angle reveals local bending features and naturally highlights inflection points and vertices. This approach extends to surfaces of revolution, where curvature lines drawn at equal tangential angle steps reflect principal curvature variations and naturally expose ridge and parabolic curves. Our…

Climate's Interiors - Limn
We tend to think about climate solutions from the exterior. Mitigating emissions, climate-proofing crops, erecting solar panels and windmills. But what happens when we shift our perspective? What if we think of climate change from inside cells, bodies, buildings, and systems? This issue of Limn takes the interior as a counterintuitive starting point for thinking about planetary change. Our proposition: Thinking from the interior fundamentally shifts how we understand our warming world and, cruc…
