Talk: Patterns, shapes, maths and us

Let op! Deze activiteit is in het Engels. We marvel at the beauty of the patterns and shapes around us: from honeycombs to soap bubbles, from crystals to animal stripes. But we might wonder: do they form spontaneously? Can we influence them? What is so special about them? Embark on a journey through the wonders, history, struggles, cutting-edge research, applications and future of the mathematics of optimal patterns and shapes. No longer will you look at the patterns and shapes around you in the same way. Ages: 12+.
