The Symmetries of Things – Tom Hall
Symmetry is everywhere, from constraining how builders lay brick to guiding physicists as to the nature of reality.
In the short book The Symmetries Of Things the mathematician John Horton Conway, in his uniquely playful style, classifies all the symmetries of the 2D plane.
In this talk you will learn the Magic Theorem, how many plane symmetries there are, how to identify miracles and wonder-rings and see lots of pretty pictures draw with Quil and a tasty Clojure DSL.
