The Webinar on The Mathematical Universe of The Alhambra took place on Friday, June 18th, 2021 from 12 pm until 1:30 pm, with Alvaro Martinez Sevilla, Researcher at the University of Granada in Spain and member of the Spanish Mathematical Royal Society (RSME), as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker presented on the mathematical concepts that can be found in The Alhambra of Granada, which is probably the best known monument of islamic art. Among them, Alvaro Martinez Sevilla highlighted examples of symmetry (in the architecture), proportion (in the doors), hierarchy (order in the domes), cyclicality (math knots in the facade) and infinitude (tessellations in the mosaics). This virtual event was co-organized with the Spanish Mathematical Royal Society (RSME).
