Mathematics of the football

Abstract: How to build something spherical out of pieces all of roughly the same shape? This problem concerns the structure of balls for many games, special molecules, domes and viruses. In this talk we will discuss some of the geometry that these structures share and how the constraints imposed by physical space lead to similar solutions.
