Mathematics Visualization

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Very cool :D

Mathematicians frequently describe a great deal of mathematics as being elegant, but it's very cool to see examples in nature of such simple and elegant mathematical patterns. I love the Fibonacci Sequence (and it's a great example of recursion when trying to explain the concept in programming to someone who's trying to grasp it - that's how I first understood it).

"Hey Vegeta, what does the display driver say about it's contrast level?"

"IT'S OVER 9000!"
