A New Visual Art Medium: Polynomiography Bahman Kalantari Rutgers University Years ago, when I got interested in the problem of computing approximations to the square root of numbers, a problem that most people never come across, I had no idea that it would bring me this far to the point of introducing a new visual art medium I call polynomiography. It has diverse applications, even for those who may not be fond of numbers.The word polynomiography is made up of the well-known mathematical word polynomial and the suffix graphy. Polynomiography is the art and science of visualization of polynomial equations. It amounts to colorful images corresponding to polynomials. One can learn to do polynomiography without the knowledge of the underlying mathematics, or even the need to deal with numbers. Polynomiography has tremendous applications in the visual arts, education and science. Artistically, it can be used in so many different ways. For instance, it can be used to create a diverse set of images reminiscent of the intricate human designs and modern art. It can be used in animation, or even inspire three-dimensional objects. Educationally, polynomiography can be used to teach mathematical concepts. Scientifically, it provides a tool,
