I'm interested by the finite/infinite implications of the deal you mention — intinite perimeter, finite area. When I'd overcome the temptation to pronounce Peano like Beano (something else) I found a website which unpacked it a bit.http://mathworld.wolfram.com/KochSnowflake.htmlBishop Alan Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879516755776951638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-30272852330339990622007-11-27T07:40:00.000+00:002007-11-27T07:40:00.000+00:00Fractals are amazing. Do you know about the Peano ...Fractals are amazing. Do you know about the Peano Snowflake - a simple shape that one can readily prove has a finite area but an infinite perimeter? Like the coastline of Britain, I suppose.BanjoVicarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238204765278416953noreply@blogger.com
