HNRS M180Structure, Patterns, and Polyhedra
Honors Collegium · 5 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
(Same as Chemistry M117.) Exploration of structures and their geometric underpinnings, with examples and applications from architecture (space frames, domes), biology (enzyme complexes, viruses), chemistry (symmetry, molecular cages), design (tiling), engineering (space filling), and physics (crystal structures) to effect working knowledge of symmetry, two-dimensional patterns, and three-dimensional solids.
P/NP or letter grading.
