408- Building Conway’s Pencil Models

Friday, April 15, 2011: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
Grand Ballroom IX (JW Marriott)
Lead Speaker:

John Conway of Princeton invented a class of models built of hexagonal prisms. Participants will learn to build these three-dimensional geometric models from pencils, explore symmetries of these models, and understand the relationship between this model and the cubic lattice. Models may be viewed at the Web at www.rider.edu/172_5403.htm.
