About this talk

In this lecture, we look at the strange geometry of holly leaves, solve the challenge of creating the pristine six-fold symmetry of a snowflake within the rules of origami (no scissors allowed), and discover algorithms to optimise everything on the festive table from the roast potatoes to the post lunch mince pie (mince π?). All you need for a merry mathematical Christmas is here! A lecture by Professor Sarah Hart This event is also available to watch live online.
