This site, created by the Mathematics Department at Bellevue Community
College in Bellevue, Washington, contains descriptions of six mathematical
concepts: the Pythangorean Theorem, Archimedes' Tombstone, the Mobius
Strip, the Koch Snowflake Curve, Plateau's Problem, and Counting to
Infinity. Each snippet contains a very brief history and an explanation of
the concept. Illustrations are used to convey the physical meaning and
consequences of each concept. Plateau's Problem and Counting to Infinity
contain links to web sites that provide additional information about
persons or concepts mentioned in the snippet. [KH]
