The Webinar on Chemistry, Art and Mathematics took place on Thursday, August 12th, 2021 from 2 pm until 3:30 pm, with Natalia Jonard, Professor of Mathematics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker started the virtual event by telling the history of topology, an area of mathematics, and explaining the problem of the Konigsberg bridges. Natalia Jonard then shared several examples of the applications of topology in art, architecture, film, music, psychoanalysis, genetics and chemistry. The speaker also highlighted the properties of the Mobius band and how chiral objects are related to the catastrophe of the Thalidomide.
