Six-sided ice crystals that fall to earth in ideal winter conditions, commonly known as snowflakes, have fascinated scientists for centuries. They exhibit a seemingly endless variety of shape and structure, and snowflake growth from molecular scales, with its tension between disorder and pattern formation, remains puzzling in many respects. With emphasis on computer-generated pictures and movies, the talk will review a few mathematical models of snow crystal dynamics, and discuss their contributions to mathematics and to understanding of real snowflakes. (Joint work with D. Griffeath.)
