The Everything Formula

The Everything Formula, aka Tupper's  self-referential formula, provides a rule with which any bounded black-and-white pixel image can be generated by suitable choice of parameters. In particular, Tupper's formula can reproduce an image of itself. This project aims at developing a generalization of Tupper's formula that produces colored images. 

Basic knowledge in the fields of analysis (calculus 1 & 2) and linear algebra as well as some knowledge in programming are recommended. The duration of the project work within the working group should be at least four weeks. In addition, a final written as well as oral presentation in the seminar will be expected. For more information and conditions please refer to the Module and Course Catalog (German) of the department.
