2/19/2023 -- Advanced 2: Guest lecture: How Less is More (with Origami) by Medha RaviThe lecture outlines an approach to elementary geometry different from the standard compass-and-ruler constructions. If one uses origami instead, the resulting algebraic structure (Galois group) is more rich. In particular, some problems not solvable by means of compass-and-ruler constructions, like trisecting an angle, become solvable. The room for the lecture is MS 4000A. Handouts:[Edit]
