[+] Hinged dissections: animations, polyform inductive construction, rectangle to rectangle, furniture, pseudopolynomial construction, 3D, Dehn invariant.
This lecture covers four additional results: How polyform (polyomino, polyiamond, polyhex, polycube, etc.) hinged dissection works How rectangle-to-rectangle (nonhinged) dissection works How we obtain a pseudopolynomial bound on hinged dissection How (nonhinged) dissection works in 3D and 4D: the Dehn invariant Along the way, we'll see some fun examples of animation and furniture.
