The Sierpinski triangle. (Larger view: white on black , black on white.) One way to draw this is to start with a solid triangle, divide it up into four smaller triangles each one of which has 1/4 the ...
Sierpinski Triangle. This fractal is an equilateral triangle, subdivided recursively into smaller equilateral triangles. It is constructed by removal of triangular subsets: ...
Sierpinski triangles for mid-infrared sensing Fractals are becoming popular for when it comes to designing microwave and radio-frequency antennas thanks to their “self-similarity” that allows the ...
Assume that your computer can draw 10,000 squares per second, and the size of the initial square is 1000 by 1000 pixels. Calculate how long it will take your computer to draw this fractal by iteration ...
He and his senior class made an eight-foot Sierpinski Triangle, a "a fractal and attractive fixed set named after the Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński" out of $75 worth of pennies.
One interesting problem is to find the area of a Sierpinski triangle. Clearly this changes with each iteration. Assuming the original square has area equal to 1, the area after the first iteration ...
