Friday News Mar 24: Celebrating the Ein Stein, Gather Social, New Video

  • Celebrating the Ein Stein

    This weekend on Sunday at 12 noon ET (Atlanta time*), we will host a Zoom session (at a new URL, see below) to celebrate this week’s extraordinary announcement by David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig S. Kaplan, and Chaim Goodman-Strauss of the discovery of an aperiodic monotile: a single tile which (along with its mirror image) tiles the infinite 2D plane aperiodically.

    The session will be recorded, and we may later post edited highlights on the G4G YouTube channel.

    Participants will need the meeting ID and passcode if they join directly from Zoom, without using the link. People will be able to see each other if they have webcams. Share screen will also be available.

We hope that our guests this Sunday will include:

    • Chaim Goodman-Strauss
    • Doris Schattschneider
    • Robert Fathauer
    • Marjorie Senechal

MoMath, where Chaim currently works, is hosting a special online session about it this Saturday at 3pm ET (Atlanta / New York time)

  • New G4G Video on our Channel

    We’ve uploaded a new video on our YouTube channel “Ars Combinatoria – David Singmaster from the 1980s. Thanks to Michele Emme for making this available!

  • Gather.town Social

    Our Gather.town events continue the following Saturday, at 12 noon ET (16:00 UTC) Atlanta Local Time, in Gather.town.
