The Brain Research Center at Bar Ilan University has announced a competition open to the general public To create surfaces using surfer software. The participants will be asked to send to the competition pictures of algebraic surfaces according to the formulas they placed in the Surfer software. The contest is open until April 12, 2016.
Albar surfaces Formed by simple equations in three vanishings - x, y, z.
All the points in space that maintain the beacon constitute the surface and appear in the image of the surface. For example $x^2 +y^2+z^2=1 $ is a sphere. Using the surfer software it is very easy to create beautiful surfaces. You are supposed to connect equations with missing three in order to use them to create beautiful surfaces.
Surfer software needed to create surfaces can be downloaded to your computer from the competition website or directly from http://imaginary.org/program/surfer By typing DOWNLOAD.
Upload pictures: : Before uploading a photo to the contest, you need to save the photo as a png file using the Save button (found in the lower right corner). The competition website has a link to upload photos On this page.
The competition is open to everyone! You can also submit to the competition joint works made by a couple or a group or a family!
After the competition ends, three winners will be announced - First, second and third place, and each winner will receive a poster print of the surface he built in decreasing sizes (respectively). The judges' decision is final.
tips: Images of surfaces created with Surfer software can be seen on the competition website by typing on . GALLERIES

It was possible to see large prints of surface images in the exhibition that is on display at the Brain Research Center at Bar Ilan University, from December 24, 2015 to January 29, 2016. Admission is free (As we reported a few days ago).
