Sofia the Sudden Onset Disco Theorist

Sofia, the renowned Disco Theorist, is an expert in the unorthodox application of mathematical models to the study of disco balls.

Her groundbreaking work on the fractal geometry of disco reflections and the probability distribution of polyester suits has been widely acclaimed.

However, her sudden onset of disco fever in 1977 has left many in the academic community questioning her credibility.

Mathematical Models

The committee is proud to present Sofia's latest research paper, "Mathematical Models of Disco Ball Reflections" in the proceedings of the 1978 International Conference on Disco Mathematics.

                // This model simulates the reflections of a disco ball in a 3D space.
                
                // Parameters:
                
                // r: radius of the disco ball
                // n: number of reflections
                
                // Variables:
                
                // x, y, z: coordinates of the reflection point
                
                // // Reflection Formula
                
                // x' = 2 * x - r
                // y' = 2 * y - r
                // z' = 2 * z - r
                
                // Return: x', y', z'
