"Join Penrose [the cat] on new mathematical adventures while he introduces math concepts in a non threatening way.
Conway's proof of the uncountability of Penrose patterns ( Penrose had earlier proved it in a different way ) can be outlined as follows . On the kite label one side of the axis of symmetry L , the other R ( for left and right ) .
Another superb collection of articles from Martin Gardner, the king of recreational mathematics.
