Fun with Fonts: Algorithmic Typography by Demaine, Erik D., Demaine, Martin L.

“…Over the past decade, we have designed five typefaces based on mathematical theorems and open problems, specifically computational geometry. These typefaces expose the general public in a unique way to intriguing results and hard problems in hinged dissections, geometric tours, origami design, physical simulation, and protein folding. …”

Applications of Chapman-Richards model to geotechnical engineering by Nie, Wen, Guo, W.

“…In this paper, the Chapman-Richards model is adapted to best fit three types of nonlinear curves that are generally encountered in geotechnical engineering practices, i.e. the degree of consolidation versus time factor curves in one-dimensional consolidation and plane strain consolidation under strip loading, the compressibility and permeability curves of soft clay, and the geometry parameters of geosynthetic tube versus pumping pressure curves. …”
