Professor Rich Schwartz gave a talk and demonstration of the Robinson tiles, a classical example of a non-periodic tiling.
2:
Carolyn Gordon, from Dartmouth, came down and gave a lecture about isospectral planar domains.
Do you have any news about current students or recent graduates? For example, scholarships or other awards, acceptances to graduate school, paper presentations at conferences. :
John Armstrong, one of the PME enthusiasts who revived the chapter 4 years ago, is a math graduate student at Yale. Amir Caspi, another former PME member, is a graduate student at Berkeley. Shawn Lawton, a former PME member, is a graduate student at the University of Maryland. Sarah Kitchen, a current PME member, has been accepted into a semester-abroad mathematics program in Hungary
