Tiling in Curved Space

From Mathsreach

Gaven Martin describes how non-linear partial differential equations explain how the microstructure in a steel bar affects the macroscopic distribution of forces as it is bent. He describes how solving simple problems, like the one posed by Carl Siegel in 1945 that relates to tiling in 3-space, can take decades to solve.
