This is a short introduction into the wonderful world of graph theory. Hopefully this video will help you learn, or serve as a refresher for, some basics concepts in graph theory. Enjoy!

Mathlapse Competition 2016. Imaginary Conference Berlin 22/07/2016.
The video was selected for screening at the award ceremony.
In it we wander around the world using fractal geometry. A fractal is mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale. We connect some fractal figures to the symbols of some countries. We use Iterated Function System (IFS) fractals to represent the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the temples in Bagan, the Cathedral in Prague, Cathedral in Milan and so on. The video was created during a mathematical activity in the classroom with my students in Liceo Scientifico “L. Siciliani” in Catanzaro Italy.
We would like that our video can be a symbol of peace and friendship in the world in the name of Mathematics.

Standing wave theory and Morphodynamic archetypes Sphere-vortex connection
The tripartite communion between the sphere, spiral and language involves a conceptual leap clarifying the relationships of the hierarchies of shape as becoming, from the sphere through the spiral to and into the symbol, a connection systematically exemplified during the conceptual narrative approach that clarifies by systemizing the origin, essence and hierarchy of the diversity of shape in the mineral, biological, animal, and especially human world, a creativity almost exclusively based on symbolic thinking levers
