Abstract
In 1966, Polish American mathematician Mark Kac (1966) wrote an article with the now famous title: “Can One Hear the Shape of a Drum?”. The frequencies at which a drumhead vibrates depend on its shape. In the article, Kac asked the question whether the shape can be uniquely determined if the frequencies are known. It took until the early 1990s for three mathematicians Gordon, Webb, and Wolpert to show that there indeed exist multiple shapes, that vibrate with exactly the same frequencies.
