In this mathematics and statistics colloquium, Ken Shoemake will discuss the crystallographic restriction theorem, which lies close to the heart of crystal structures. Mineralogists and mathematicians studied many crystal specimens and their likely inner structure, and they concluded that the only possible rotational symmetries were two-fold, three-fold, four-fold, and six-fold. Mathematicians extended the theorem into higher dimensions, […]

Switching a crossing on a knot diagram is one of the simplest methods for converting one type of knot into another type of knot. The Gordian graph is the graph which keeps track of which knot types can be converted into which other knot types by a single crossing change. Associate Professor of Mathematics Scott […]
