Convergence
&Divergence

by Dataviz Cowboy

In this data visualization project we observe the plethora of topographical solutions that mathematical formulas may have.

We consider a formula with four terms and we initialize the formula with values ranging from 0.01 to 500. We create pairs of values with the value of the formula as we add more terms, and the value of each term separately.

These pairs of values are translated into latitude and longitude and we profit the D3.js topographical features to create a topography of potential solutions or values. We can explore how the formula behaves without knowing the mathematical meaning of each one of the terms.

We can intuitively explore how the formula converges or diverges towards precise values.
