Dr. Heidi Burgiel, assistant professor of mathematics and computer science at Bridgewater (Mass.) State College, is the co-author, with John Conway and Chaim Goodman-Strauss, of The Symmetries of Things, a scholarly book about repeating patterns.

In this edition of FacultyCast, she speaks with David Wilson about the new book, symmetry in general, and how the subject first sparked her interest.

  • The book is terrific. This video, not so much.

  • Yeah I should pick up this book. I like Chaim G-S's idea of getting the wallpaper patterns out to the design community. It's so boring always seeing the same patterns out there. And you are right that Conway is a really good writer.
