[en] Nature is full of shapes and patterns. Look at petals of flowers, the patterns on butterfly wings butterflies, the spirals of fossils. Can you recognize a repetition of patterns or a symmetry between patterns? Mathematical tools are particularly well-suited to describing these patterns. And the world of maths also has its own objects, just as proudly displaying its own patterns, repetitions of patterns on several scales, or repetitions of patterns by symmetry. Let's dive into the our small math gallery, created in the framework of our Experimental Mathematics Lab at the University of Luxembourg, and explore the amazing shapes, patterns, symmetry, and self-similarity that we've got to offer!
