Free.

An interactive exploration of the incredible mathematical theory of dessins d’enfants (“children’s drawings”). We can think of a dessin d’enfant as a shape you obtain by gluing together several triangles. Giving rise to far deeper mathematical ideas, with models and illustrations, and hands-on activities, the workshop investigates some of the secrets of dessins d’enfants and look at the mathematicians who have developed the subject.
