Sun, November 1, Davies Auditorium, 10 Hillhouse Avenue:
Kelly Delp (Cornell): What can you make using cellular automata?
Suppose
we have a line of boxes, each with two possible states, black or white.
A 1-dimensional cellular automaton is a simple set of rules for
determining how the states of these boxes change over time. Slight
changes in the rules can lead to vastly different patterns. In this talk
we will look at examples of these 1-dimensional (and possibly
2-dimensional) automata and see how mathematical artists use them in
beadwork, knitting, and image processing.
(Sorry for the late notice; this looks like a good one!)
