Lecturer: Russell Arnold, Mathematician at the Section for
Mathematics and Astronomy at the Goetheanum
The families of shapes known as path curves and path surfaces contain
a remarkable variety of forms found in living nature, as demonstrated by
Lawrence Edwards following the inspiration of George Adams. This talk will
look at the historical, mathematical and morphological context of these shapes.
Free lecture. Contributions welcome.
