Title: Name that symmetry group
Post by towr on Jun 18th, 2008, 1:01pm
New Scientist is holding a competition for the name of a new symmetry group:
Competition: Name that mathematical object (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14106?DCMP=ILC-hmts&nsref=specrt10_head_Win%20immortality)
Contest entry page (http://www.newscientist.com/form.ns?page=symmetrycomp200806)

I'm not sure I should be naming things I don't quite understand though.

That's why I suggested "Becca," after an ex-girlfriend of mine. I didn't quite understand her either.
