- **Event Description**: This lecture explores how a mathematical theory of seashell growth explains the origins of its stunning geometric features.About this EventThe Shape of Shells: She Sells Self-Similar Spiral Seashells on the SeashoreIt is impossible not to marvel at the beauty and regularity of seashells. These intricate forms are crafted by a humble architect—the living mollusc—building them layer by layer. Despite their remarkable diversity, the fundamental geometry of most seashells is governed by simple mathematical rules, resulting in elegant three-dimensional self-similar structures. Beyond this basic framework, molluscs embellish their shells with fascinating features such as wrinkles, spines, and spikes. In this lecture, I will demonstrate how a mathematical theory of seashell growth explains the origins of these features and resolves many enduring questions in biology.A lecture by Professor Alain Goriely.This event is also available to watch live online.
