Seeing the mathematics behind supersymmetry theories - Adinkras

The topic of a 'supersymmetrya' is about 40 years old and yet there are some problems of a purely mathematical nature which have unresolved in this period.

During the past decade a small number of researchers have made some slow progress on these puzzles.

This has been enabled combining some of the19th century mathematics of William Clifford, the ethos of some African symbology and elements of computer science.

This Masterclass conveyed this still-evolving story.
