Moebius Transformations Revealed
The web-in-the-sky (n. american way of describing it), buckeyballs (chemistry - the bi-pole/london dispersion forces are projected as round lopes, when you think about the round lopes on a magnatic pole), matrix (to the sci-fi geeks), grid… all describe what’s wrapped around this earth projecting a Cartesian plane. Niels Bohr. Also demonstrates how its easier to explain a 2d concept in 3d and maybe 3d is easier to demonstrate with a hypersphere (4D) in 3D space? University of North Minnesota created Möbius Transformations Revealed primarily using POV-Ray and Mathematica. The soundtrack (from Schumann’s Kinderscenen, Op. 15, I) is performed by Donald Betts and distributed by Musopen.
