Wed Letter Day
Week 2. The Greek letter Delta which became the Roman D. My drawing is also a fractal, a shape made up smaller parts of the whole. This triangular arrangement is known as the Sierpinski triangle named after the Polish mathematician who described the figure in 1916.
I was insufferably pleased with myself for thinking of this fractal shape. Math is not a strong suit for me. The Young One offers a reason why my math skills are lacking, but the answer is in tomorrow's post. (-;
How many triangles can you count?

That's really cool! I stopped counting at 65 when I realized there'd be so many more. I'm not a mathy person either.
ReplyDeleteI stopped counting at 100 and I think I will be seeing triangles all day.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteI ain't counting all those triangles...like Linda, I'd be seeing them all day.
Can't wait to see what the Young One's opinion of your math skills is.
