Corinna Beuermann-Kulp
In my freetime I create and sew unique mathematical geometrical toys
for children 5 years old and older. Together with the mathematical
institute of the university in Göttingen, I developed the
"Kindergarten Koffer" - a suitcase with different puzzles: 8
mathemagic cubes, 1 Pentomino, 1 Sudoku, the magnetic dodecagon and
the Maths Pie. I made many spheres with different tilings on the
surface, and edge models from polyhedra. My hobby is sewing stellated
polyhedra, quilts and other robust, elastic, haptic and soft
toys/puzzles!
My circular quilt: "Da staunst Du - 29 Bauklötze!" was shown in
Germany during the year of math in 2008.
I have enjoyed the bridges conference in Jyväskylä and Waterloo.
The patternfall. A Penrows Quilt.
A new interpretation for the Roger Penrose pattern: a Penrows
Quilt. You can also add more rows to the pattern to expand the
quilt. The quilt is completely symmetrical, rotating at 180°.
Discover the pentagons and rhombs and pentagrams that formed
Islamic patterns in the architecture of earlier times. And
discover the Luther rose. It was the seal designed for Martin
Luther and a universally recognized symbol of Lutheranism. In
honor of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation by Martin
Luther, who changed the world, I combined this rose with the
Islamic pattern and Penrose tiling to unite the religions into a
mathematical context.
