Radical Pi Meeting - David Goldberg
Title: How many ways can I tile my floor?Speaker: David Goldberg (Purdue University)Abstract: Aestetic appreciation of symmetry permeates human culture, and is evident across all civilizations. Natural mathematical questions arise in connection with tilings. In particular, what are the possible symmetries of a periodic tiling? It is surprising that the collection of possible symmetries is finite. We will describe what is meant by a tiling of the plane, how one classifies such tilings, why there are only finitely many classes, and what they are.
