ResumoWhen I was finishing my book for the one-hundredth birthday of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) (Schappacher, Framing Global Mathematics. The International Mathematical Union Between Theorems and Politics, Springer Cham, 2022), a few coincidences made me reflect on the different ways in which mathematicians and archaeologists look at visual patterns, such as the one which underlies the new logo that the IMU adopted in 2006. This logo had been metrically and symmetrically optimized by John M. Sullivan and Nancy Wrinkle for the occasion (For details, see https://www.mathunion.org/outreach/imu-logo (consulted 21 March 2022) and the material on the pages linked to that site.).
