Marcus du Sautoy has discovered some significant new symmetrical objects but they currently have no names. Marcus has invited members of the public to name some of these shapes in return for a donation to charity. Each curve is defined by four numbers, three chosen by the individual and one chosen by the system.

 

Marcus has chosen a set of three numbers with particular significance to the Diamond Jubilee - 1952, the year of The Queen's accession to the throne, 2012, and 60 (the years she has reigned) - and named the corresponding symetrical object The Diamond Jubilee Group. He will present a certificate for The Diamond Jubilee Group to the Queen.
