Creative Math Systems Developer
Edgar Delgado
I build creative systems to explore math, computation, and music through structural analogies. Over time, I've found that formal systems lie at the core of my interests.
My libraries include modular forms (SageMath/LMFDB-inspired), multidimensional figurate numbers with over 28,000 downloads, and ts-tonnetz.
I have served as a peer reviewer for The European Physical Journal Special Topics, have published a Scopus-indexed article on Mathematical Music Theory, contribute to international open-source projects, and teach postgraduate courses.
Notes
A Brief Flight of Morita's p-adic Gamma in Sonic Pi
Yes, the Gamma function appears in countless mathematical places and now I’m putting it to work in Sonic Pi with a little twist of p-adic numbers.
Sonic Pi 5 RC First Impressions with What Is Love
A long walk through the Sonic Pi 5 release candidates, including my contributions with fixes for Gabberkick validation and autocomplete issues, alongside explorations of new interface improvements, documentation workflow, musical features, the mathematical ideas behind them, custom card decks, and my adaptation of What Is Love by Haddaway.
Can Axiomatic Systems Have a Geometry and a Type?
A Saturday reflection on imagining a geometry of axiomatic systems and wondering whether theories could become types that carry information about what can and can't be proven about them, inspired by proof assistants like Lean.
Two Years Leading to FigurateNum v3 Visualizations in the Complex Plane
A short personal note on a new way of visualizing figurate numbers in FigurateNum v3, bringing them into the complex plane through generating functions and domain coloring.
