Topology, geometry and life in three dimensions + Q&A (Caroline Series) (2014x35)

Ausstrahlung: Nov 28, 2014

If you imagine a three dimensional maze from which there is no escape, how can you map it? Is there a way to describe what all possible mazes look like, and how do mathematicians set about investigating them? Caroline Series describes how hyperbolic geometry is playing a crucial role in answering such questions, illustrating her talk with pictures that have inspired some striking examples of digital art.
