SUMMARY:Artistic Mathematics: Truth and Beauty
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Mathematics Public Lecture by Henry Segerman\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Segerman will talk about his work in mathematical visualization: making accurate\, effective\, and beautiful pictures\, models\, and experiences of mathematical concepts. He will discuss what it is that makes a visualization compelling\, and show many examples in the medium of 3D printing\, as well as some work in virtual reality and spherical video. Dr Segerman will also discuss his experiences in teaching a project-based class on 3D printing for mathematics students. \n\n\n\nThe theme of International Day of Mathematics 2025 is Mathematics Art\, and Creativity. In honour of the theme\, University of Oklahoma mathematician and artist Henry Segerman will give a talk about his incredible mathematical visualizations. This will be a free event targeted to the general public\, including interested school students. More details and registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHenry Segerman\, Oklahoma State University\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Henry Segerman’s research interests are in three-dimensional geometry and topology\, and in mathematical art and visualization. In visualization he works in 3D printing\, spherical video\, virtual\, and augmented reality. He is the author of the book “Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey event details\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & time:  \n\n\n\nFriday 14 March 2025 \n\n\n\nPublic lecture: 5:30 – 6:30 pm \n\n\n\nCanapés & drinks: 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost:  \n\n\n\nThis is a free event \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nLecture Theatre 321\, Susan Wakil Health Building\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown Campus \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event

SUMMARY:CCWM X SMRI: Maths at the Museum
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Mathematics 2025: Mathematics\, Art and Creativity\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday March 15 from 12 – 4pmSunday March 16 from 12 – 4 pm \n\n\n\nThe official theme of the International Day of Mathematics in 2025 is “Mathematics\, Art\, and Creativity”. The Sydney Mathematics Research Institute and the Chau Chak Wing Museum will collaborate to mark the occasion with a special fun-filled family weekend. We will explore creativity in mathematics with talks\, panels\, children’s activities and performances across the weekend in the Chau Chak Wing Museum.An integrated program of activities will run across the weekend\, with participating artists and activities confirmed below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sound of Symmetry\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nARIA-Nominated Ensemble Offspring are an innovative 8-part band known for performing at MONA FOMA\, Sydney Festival and Melbourne Festival over their 23-year history. This will be a combined lecture-recital\, with commentary from mathematician Artem Pulemotov and musicologist Denis Collins\, who work at the interface of mathematics and music.  \n\n\n\nAs this event will be popular\, there is a small charge ($5) to reserve your spot \n\n\n\nThe performance will run both afternoons 12.30 – 2 pm (doors open 12.15 pm). Suitable for anyone 15 years and older.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister for the Sound of Symmetry ($5)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrawing on Complexity with Briony Barr\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the weekend\, visitors will contribute to a collaborative artwork by Brisbane-based artist Briony Barr using paper and washi tape. This body of work\, ‘Drawing on Complexity’ uses rule-based drawing and social dynamics to model complex adaptive systems\, and has been designed in collaboration with physicist Andrew Melatos. \n\n\n\n\n\nDrawing on Complexity: Experiment 9 by Briony Barr. Photo: Greg Harm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExpert floor talks\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday 15th March\n\n\n\n12:30 Henry Segerman & Rizal Muslimin\, Shape-finding and Shape-solving in Architecture and Maths.  \n\n\n\n13:15 Sabetta Matsumoto\, Purls of wisdom: geometry & topology in weavables\, wearables and wallpaper \n\n\n\n14:15 Briony Barr\, Explainer: Drawing on Complexity \n\n\n\n15:00 Katherine Seaton\, Hitomezashi MathematicsHitomezashi is a form of stitching that originated in Edo period Japan. It is also now recognised as a form of mathematical fibre art or generative drawing. How can we stitch mathematics? The answer is using patterns\, randomness or codes. But then we look at our stitching\, and we find even more mathematical questions to consider. \n\n\n\n\n\nSunday 16th March\n\n\n\n12:30 Katherine Seaton\, Hitomezashi MathematicsHitomezashi is a form of stitching that originated in Edo period Japan.

This activity explores how you can use straight lines to form curves resulting in beautiful intricate designs. \n\n\n\n3D Fractals\n\n\n\nFractals are mathematical objects built from repeated copies of themselves. Visitors will construct units that will then be combined to build two large-scale objects: a Menger Sponge and a 3D Sierpinski triangle. \n\n\n\nWeird tiling\n\n\n\nWe see tiling everywhere – there’s almost certainly some in your bathroom. All the pieces fit neatly together to cover the surface. In this tiling activity we’ll use a special shape to create some very weird tiling – it covers a surface\, but without a repeating pattern. \n\n\n\nSashiko\n\n\n\nSashiko hand-stitching creates different types of lines that form geometric patterns. Visitors will be able to draw their own sashiko patterns using grid paper. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey event details\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & time:  \n\n\n\nSaturday 15 March & Sunday 16 March 2025 \n\n\n\n12 pm – 4 pm  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost:  \n\n\n\nMost events are free\, reservations for the Sound of Symmetry are $5  \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nThe Chau Chak Wing Museum \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sydney\, Camperdown Campus \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for ‘Sound of Symmetry’
