Next time you’re in Baruch’s Vertical Campus, I encourage you to drop by the Mathematics Department Office on the 6th floor. Newly installed on the wall, in a utilitarian position behind the photocopier, is the base of a Sand Mandala which was made at Baruch last September by visiting Tibetan monks.

The base is not the mandala itself — that was swept away at the end of the day. The base is an embodiment of the mathematics underlying the mandala’s construction. It’s what’s left of the mandala after you’ve swept away the sand, the color, the decoration, the ritual — and the mandala itself. It’s nothing, and yet it’s something — it’s symmetry.

Symmetries in nature

This Painted Trillium, which I photographed a few years ago in the Catskill Mountains, has D3 symmetry type. Lots of flowers have rotational symmetries … what other mandalas occurring in nature do you like? Any natural border patterns?

Ceiling Design

Saw this on the ceiling at the Rubin. I believe it’s either an example of the 1g or 12 border pattern (I’m leaning toward the former). Feel free to correct me if you think I’m wrong.

Mandala-esque Door Design

Found this mandala design on the doors of Barnes & Noble in Union Square. It reminded me of the Medicine Buddha Mandala a bit because of the squares and the green (nature reminiscent) coloring.

Found this border pattern on one of my blouses. I’m not sure what pattern the leaves would qualify as, but I’m fairly certain the dark blue border with the flowers is mg.

Noticed a few examples of the mm pattern on one of my dresses. It applies to the red and blue diamond pattern and the red, yellow, and black diamond pattern.
