One of my hobbies is computer programming (in "old fashioned" BASIC). I like to make animations of mathematical graphics, especially in polar coordinates. You can use them as screen savers too. Is anyone interested?
Maybe you ask me: "What is the relation with Russia?" Well, I have made some programs where you can see how functions change in a hyperbolic plane. The first mathematician who proposed this kind of (non-euclidian) geometry was Nicolai Lobachevsky from Kazan in the 19th century.
I would like to show you an example, but my programs are usually 100 lines or even longer! So I have a question for the moderators too... is it acceptable to write such a long message?
