Please check our online shop for books by Math Encounters presenters. As a rule of thumb, it would be best enjoyed by participants ages 12 and up.

Special introduction by mathematician Dan King, Sarah Lawrence College. It's fun to view the "before and after" effect as you look back and forth between photograph and wallpaper, but beware: you will leave this session seeing patterns everywhere you look! Using any photograph as input, Farris' waves can create all kinds of fantastical patterns. Taking a radical new approach to symmetry, Farris does not create patterns by repeating blocks - the usual "potato stamp” method - but rather teases patterns from mathematical objects called complex waveforms. Farris for a visually stimulating session about symmetry. Math Encounters: "Seeing Symmetry: The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns" with Frank A.
