My recent obsession with cubes in this blog has led me back to Rubik's cube, perhaps the greatest mathematical puzzle of all time.... 続きを読む >>

A few months ago, I had never heard of Karl Menger or the cube-like fractal that he invented. Now I have this long blog post about the sponge, and an extension that I am calling its "associate".... 続きを読む >>

The complement of an evolving Menger sponge is all of the material that has been removed so far.... 続きを読む >>

Use a cube instead of the Utah Teapot in my previous post. I was pleasantly suprised by the final screen shot.... 続きを読む >>

Matrices like the ones shown in the following screen shots are at the heart of computer graphics. They describe objects moving in three-dimensional space. MATLAB's Handle Graphics uses them. So does MathWork's new RoadRunner editor. And so do all popular video games and CAD packages.... 続きを読む >>
