Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón – Math is Forever

Posted by Kevin Houston on Apr 16, 2015 in TED, video | 0 comments

It has been a while since I posted a TED talk. There haven’t been many good ones in recent years. I enjoyed the one below (though I think he could have made clear that men respond the same way as women after asking the “What do you do?” question!).

Further Reading

• The paper on the Honeycomb Conjecture by Thomas Hales starts off with a very good introduction before getting down to the higher level mathematics.
• Pappus of Alexandria
• Freeform Honeycomb Structures Not directly related but is an interesting paper from a conference I was at last year.
