Tilings: Mathematical Methods behind Stunning Symmetries
Stephanie van Willigenburg, Professor of Mathematics and Associate Dean: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Science, UBC
What makes a beautiful wall filled with tiles? How many of these are there? In this talk, we will investigate and answer both of these questions. No DIY or mathematical knowledge is needed, just curiosity and appreciation for beauty.
