Today’s computational curve is the beautiful Sierpinski Triangle. It is a fractal named after the Polish mathematician Waclaw Sierpinski, who described it in 1915, though it had been previously described by other mathematicians. It is a self-replicating pattern that arises from a simple recursive process. To construct the fractal, you start with an equilateral triangle and then repeatedly remove smaller equilateral triangles from its interior, leaving holes. Each iteration involves […]
