A
Anne Burns' Mathscapes +	In her Mathscape images, Anne M. Burns combines recursive algorithms for clouds, mountains, and various imaginary plant forms into one picture. __TOC__ <br style="clear: both" />
Application of the Euclidean Algorithm +	This image shows a pattern of music rhythms generated by Euclidean algorithm. To find out the process of generating music rhythms or how it sounds like, go to section [[The Application of Euclidean Algorithm#Euclidean Rhythms\| Euclidean Rhythms]].
Arbelos +	This modern knife in the shape of an '''arbelos''' is used to make shoes.
B
Basis of Vector Spaces +	The same object, here a circle, can be completely different when viewed in other vector spaces.
Bedsheet Problem +	Take a piece of paper. Now try to fold it in half more than 7 times. Is it possible? What is the ultimate number of folds a flat piece of material can achieve? This image shows Britney Gallivan’s success at folding a sheet 12 times.
Bezier Curves +	A Bezier Curve involves the use of two anchor points and a number of control points to control the form of a curve.
Blue Fern +	The Blue Fern is a fractal, similar to Barnsley's Fern fractal, that was created by Michael Barnsley using an iterated function system.
Blue Wash +	This image is a random fractal that is created by continually dividing a rectangle into two parts and adjusting the brightness of each resulting part.
Bounding Volumes +	A box bounding the Stanford Bunny mesh.
Boy's Surface +	While trying to prove that an immersion (a … While trying to prove that an immersion (a special representation) of the projective plane did not exist, German mathematician Werner Boy discovered Boy’s Surface in 1901. Boy’s Surface is an immersion of the projective plane in three-dimensional space. This object is a single-sided surface with no edges. t is a single-sided surface with no edges.
Bridge of Peace +	The bridge of peace in Tbilisi ,Georgia, possesses a glass and steel covering frame which possesses a unique tiling structure, conic sections in its roof. Mapping a complicated pattern onto an uneven surface.
Broken Heart +	A broken heart created by a variation on a fractal.
Brunnian Links +	These are Borromean Rings...
Bump Mapping +	Bump mapping is the process of applying a height map to a lit polygon to give a polygon the perception of depth.
C
Cantor Set +	A Cantor set is a simple [[Field:Fractals\|fractal]] that laid the foundation for modern topology. The picture at right is an artistic representation of the Cantor set.
Cardioid +	A Cardioid is a pattern defined by the path of a point of the circumference of a circle that rotates around another circle.
Catenary +	A catenary is the curve created by a theoretical representation of a hanging chain or cable held at both ends.
Change Of Coordinate Transformations +	An example of various coordinate transformations applied to simple geometry.
Change of Coordinate Systems +	The same object, here a disk, can look completely different depending on which coordinate system is used.
Chryzodes +	Chryzodes are visualizations of arithmetic using chords in a circle.
Compass & Straightedge Construction and the Impossible Constructions +	This image shows the step by step construction of a hexagon inscribed in the circle using a compass and a unmarked straightedge.
Conic Section +	A conic section is a curve created from the intersection of a plane with a cone.
Cornu Spiral +	The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Florida. Its grand spiral staircase depicts the Cornu Spiral which is also commonly referred to the <b>Euler Spiral</b>.
Cross-cap +	The cross-capped disk is one 3 dimensional … The cross-capped disk is one 3 dimensional model of the [[Real Projective Plane]]. The cross-capped disk is a 2 dimensional surface that is non-orientable and has only one side. The Real Projective Plane is best represented using 4 spacial [[dimensions]], rather than 3. 4 spacial [[dimensions]], rather than 3.
D
Dandelin Sphere Theory +	This image shows a cone floating on the oc … This image shows a cone floating on the ocean. a ball floats in the cone with a touch of the ocean surface. A round fish is kissing the ocean surface in the cone. The cone cuts the ocean surface with a [[Conic Section\| "Conic Section"]], which in the image is an ellipse. tion"]], which in the image is an ellipse.
