Cutting Sequences on the Double Pentagon; A Mathematical Theorem from the Ph.D. thesis of Dianna Davis

Summary: A Ph. D. thesis result is being explained here, through dance, therefore showing what “math research” means. The dancer shows how two pentagons are glued together to make a surface. This is the key idea of the video — the explaining of science, wordlessly, through dance.
