1545a - Mini-Workshop: Friezes
[OWR-2015-48] (2015) - (01 Nov - 07 Nov 2015)Frieze patterns were introduced in the early 1970s by Coxeter. They are infinite arrays of numbers in which every four neighbouring entries always satisfy the same arithmetic relation. Amazingly, friezes appear in many ... -
