Koch curve Koch curve is a kind of fractal curve. It appeared in a 1904 paper titled ‘On a Continuous Curve Without Tangents, Constructible from Elementary Geometry’ by the Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch. Suppose there is a case in … more
The Pythagoras tree is a plane fractal constructed from squares. Invented by the Dutch mathematics teacher Albert E. Bosman in 1942. It is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. Fractal’s self-similarity Fractal curves retain their original shape even if … more
Pascal’s triangle is a triangular array of the binomial coefficients. Each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it. Pascal’s triangle has many properties and contains many patterns of numbers. The sum of the elements of row … more
Sierpinski triangle is a fractal and attractive fixed set with the overall shape of an equilateral triangle. In this simulation, Create a Sierpinski triangle by endlessly drawing circles.
A dragon curve is a piece of paper folded several times in the same direction as the picture and then bent vertically. This curve does not intersect even though it may touch. As the number of folds increases, it becomes … more
A Hilbert curve is a continuous fractal space-filling curve first described by the German mathematician David Hilbert in 1891. Fractal’s self-similarity Fractal curves retain their original shape even if they are greatly enlarged. Most fractal curves produce the same transformation … more
Sierpiński curves are a recursively defined sequence of continuous closed plane fractal curves discovered by Wacław Sierpiński. Fractal’s self-similarity Fractal curves retain their original shape even if they are greatly enlarged. Most fractal curves produce the same transformation over and … more
What is an image? Our eyes are designed to sense where the light came from. Even if the light didn’t actually originate there, if our eyes feel that way, our eyes say there’s an image there. When two mirrors face … more
Water vapor in the air Liquid water can evaporate and turn into water vapor in the air. Conversely, water vapor in the air may turn back into the water. Some are very dry, with no moisture at all, such as … more
Convection When you boil water in the kettle, even if you heat only the bottom, the whole water becomes evenly hot. This is because water transfers heat while moving directly. In this way, liquid or gaseous substances can transfer heat … more
Epicycloid refers to the trajectory drawn by a vertex on a small circle when a small circle is rolled outside a large circle. The radius of a large circle is denoted by R, the radius of a small circle is … more
