Information
This event is now fully booked.
Carved stone balls are prehistoric objects that have been discovered across Britain and Ireland, but mainly in the north-east of Scotland. There are many theories about their purpose and significance, one of which they represent geometric objects:polyhedra.
In this talk, Dr Richard Hepworth-Young will explore the carved stone balls, the mathematics of polyhedra, and the question of whether the two are related.
