MAA Found Math: Roger Nelsen (Lewis & Clark College) submitted this week's photos with the following description: "This Fibonacci Spiral is one of several mathematically-themed floor tilings in the Percy Lavon Julian Science and Mathematics Center on the campus of DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana."

"This evolute of an ellipse (an evolute of a curve is the locus of its centers of curvature)," wrote Nelsen, "is one of several mathematically-themed floor tilings in the Percy Lavon Julian Science and Mathematics Center on the campus of DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana."
