Some More Math Fun

As an answer to George Hart's Möbius Bagel, Serious Eats has constructed a Möbius Doughnut

Then I saw a picture on Wired Science and thought that somebody had knitted a mathematical equation in 3-D.



It turned out that it was a Mandelbulb, a 3-D visualisation of a fractal called a Mandelbrot set. After seeing some videos like the next one, I still think that this is just like a cool knitting work...



Here is an example from a Finnish knitting blog nekkisneuleet. Using different patterns, someone could really knit a visualisation. Too bad I am not good in designing...

Finally Makezine led me to some really impressive polyhedra made of playing cards, again by George Hart

  1. hello, now found a very interesting fact that in Fig. geometricras :)

    1p 2p 3p 4p 5p ......

    1c 1l 1t 1q 1p'
    3c 3l 4t 4q
    6c 6l 6t
    10c 10l .............15c
    p-points
    c-circles
    l-lines
    t-triangles
    q-square
    p'-pentagon

    now I'm trying to see that k relationship can have with this numbering or teroria Fibonacci numbers .. up or if someone did something to it. help is welcome :)
