Hello, I'm Edgar Delgado Vega 👋
I design creative systems that integrate mathematical structures with computational tools for live coders, musicians, and curious minds.
I currently develop modular_forms (inspired by SageMath and LMFDB) and ts-tonnetz, packages for real-time algorithmic composition. My libraries for generating figurate numbers have surpassed 15,000 downloads.
I have published an article indexed in Scopus on Mathematical Music Theory, teach at the graduate level, and contribute to international open-source projects.
These libraries are my answer to a wild and fascinating question:
What if some elegant mathematical ideas could become instruments
for creating music, writing code, and dancing with math?
And what if music, in turn, could inspire unexpected new math?
- modular_forms: A creative math engine that makes modular forms and elliptic curves interactive, musical, and live. Built with Ruby/Sonic Pi, this project transforms some concepts from arithmetic geometry into a playground for code and sound. Inspired in LMFDB, SageMath, Pari/GP.
- ts-tonnetz: a TypeScript math library for transformational music theory: graphs, cycles, group actions. It is currently implemented in Topos, a live-coding environment where music theory becomes code you can jam with.
- figuratenum: a Python library that generates
235infinite sequences of multidimensional figurate numbers. I'm also maintaining a Ruby version, figurate_numbers, with similar functionality. Both are designed for use in pure mathematics, algorithmic composition, and live coding contexts.
