Abstract:
Since the dawn of civilization people have been intrigued by packing problems. They
have a great significance in the practicalities of our everyday lives, with people always
seeming to try to find more efficient ways of packing things together. Even though
scientists have studied them for over 2,500 years, they are still prevalent today in
almost every area of science. Much of the work that scientists have done on packing
problems to date has been in considering sphere packings. These have been used
widely to investigate the properties of granular materials and as simple models for
everything from packings of atoms to packings of bubbles.
