dc.description.abstractThe mathematics required to comprehend much of crystallography is widely taught in the senior years of secondary schooling in many countries, at the same time, there is consternation regarding perceived losses in interest in STEM (Science, Technological, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects, and worse, a failure to engage a significant proportion of young women in these topics in the first instance. In observing the beautiful patterns which result from Laue diffraction experiments we have been encouraged to explore the possibility of employing tools originally developed to analyse experimental patterns[1, 2] as a conduit through which students may be engaged in the exploration of a mathematically based subject. The aesthetically pleasing demonstrations of real-life examples can be shown while the modifications which occur with changing orientation or cell dimensions can be explored. © International Union of Crystallographyen_AU
