"Math Mosaics: Demystifying Intricate Tilings"
featuring MOST Fellow Laura Seaberg
Join MoMath for an engaging exploration of tilings, the mathematical arrangements of shapes that appear everywhere from jigsaw puzzles to the tiles beneath your feet. For centuries, humans have created and admired these intricate patterns, yet tilings remain a vibrant area of mathematical discovery. In this interactive session, Laura Seaberg will explore the surprising richness of tilings: how mathematicians measure the “orderliness” of a pattern, what happens when tile shapes become infinitely intricate, and why new insights continue to emerge even today. Come discover the beauty, structure, and creative possibilities hidden in the mosaics all around us.
MOST provides opportunities for students to explore engaging math with dynamic, early-career female mathematicians. To learn more about MOST, visit momath.org/most. This program is made possible in part by the generous support of Peter Bloom, in memory of his mother, Naomi Bloom.
