by Dr. Craig S. Kaplan. In this talk, I discuss the role of the computer in the process of designing mazes. I present some well known algorithms for maze construction, and more recent research that attempts to novel mazes with non-trivial mathematical or aesthetic properties. +

For thousands of years, mazes and labyrinths have played +an important role in human culture and myth. Today, solving +mazes is a popular pastime, whether with pencil on paper +or by navigating through a cornfield. +

The construction of compelling mazes encompasses a variety of +challenges in mathematics, algorithm design, and aesthetics. +The maze should be visually attractive, but it should also be +an engaging puzzle. Master designers balance these two goals +with wonderful results. +
