Sisyphus +Code vs Statisticality

Sisyphus is a kinetic sculpture that rolls a ball through sand, forever creating and erasing beautiful patterns. Sisyphus is a kinetic art piece: it is an instrument. As a musical instrument plays songs, Sisyphus plays paths. This app provides a coding interface for creating unique and interesting algorithmic sand art patterns. Create and save your code using drag and drop blocks, JavaScript, or Python. It includes a tutorial to learn how, Challenges to test yourself, and Examples showing some code concepts. Connect to your Sisyphus to Print directly onto the sand, and save for later playback.

Partly a book, partly a set of demonstrations, and partly a tool, this app introduces you to basic statistics. Topics include box & whisker plots, histograms, median-median lines, linear regression lines, probability distributions, the Central Limit Theorem, and the normal curve. You can enter your own data or work with the provided sample data. Samples include information about US presidents, professional basketball players, coin flipping, dice rolling, the minimum wage, and the expansion of the universe! Each page inludes a Read Me button for basic instructions and a Details button for information about the underlying mathematical concepts.
