Math Club Meeting: Mathematics of the Penrose tiling

Date: March 24, 2025

Time: 7:00PM - 8:00PM

Location: BLOC 150

Speaker: Volodymyr Nekrashevych

Description: We will discuss Penrose tilings and their properties such as self-similarity and aperiodicity. I will also explain the "cut-and-project" interpretation: how aperiodic Penrose tilings are intersections of a periodic tessellation of a 4D space by an "irrational slope" 2D plane. There will be refreshments provided, and the meeting will satisfy credit for MATH 170. We also have a Math Club Discord which contains info about our meetings and may also be used to contact our officers and other members! You can sign up at this link here.
