Kepler's Quest
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Calgary Youth | | City: | Calgary, AB | | School: | St. Brigid School | | Abstract: | I solve the Discrete Kepler Problem for unit sphere packings when the spheres lie in convex position. Subsequently, I introduce a new class of convex polyhedra and propose a way of classifying them. Finally, I propose a new model for protein folding. |
