Patterns in Nature: A Treasure Trove for the Curious

Dr. John A. Adam
Old Dominion University
Professor of Mathematics

As noted by the College of Letters & Science, this talk will address the many fascinating and beautiful patterns in the natural world around us that we often don’t even notice. These include rainbows, ice crystal halos, glories, waves on puddles, lakes and oceans (and in the atmosphere), patterns in flora and fauna, and much more. This picture-laden talk will be an introduction to some familiar (and not so familiar) patterns with brief reference to some of the science and mathematics underlying them.
