In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns, I include a comprehensive set of recipes for turning photographs into patterns.

“It’s a way for people to see mathematics in pictures, which is much easier to understand,” Golubitsky said. “Why are the patterns so similar in physically, biologically completely ...

Humans have used symmetrical patterns for thousands of years in both functional and decorative ways. Now, a new book by three mathematicians offers both math experts and enthusiasts a new way to ...

The mathematics behind how such never-repeating patterns are created is very useful in understanding how they are formed and even in designing them with specific properties.

Unlock the fascinating world of geometry as we explore every complex shape explained in clear, simple terms. From polygons ...

Physics + Math Symmetry: How Beautiful Math Makes Elegant Physics By Don Lincoln Thursday, April 25, 2013 The Nature of Reality What does symmetry mean to physicists?

For example, the growth pattern of Norfolk Island pine represents an extremely different model from white mangroves. Why do botanists bother to mathematically map plant phyllotaxis?

Education researchers at Stanford have discovered that symmetry is key to how kids understand positive and negative integers.

Researchers have developed origami-inspired bloom patterns that improve spacecraft design by enhancing deployment reliability ...

In Mysterious Pattern, Math and Nature Converge All complex correlated systems, from Arctic melt ponds to the internet, appear to be governed by the same math as a random matrix. Photo: Marco de ...

Hence, there exists an abundance of symmetry in tile patterns worldwide—and in nature, whether radial (starfish, pine cones, the cross-section of a kiwi fruit) or bilateral (a butterfly, a maple ...
