    Series Shapes
AI Thread Summary
Geometric series can be creatively applied to generate various shapes for math projects. While one user initially considered a website for examples, they seek alternative shapes that do not involve complex numbers or fractals like the Julia or Mandelbrot sets. Suggestions include exploring the concept of the anti-snowflake and other fractals. Additional resources like "Fractals Unleashed" provide further inspiration for fractal-related projects. The discussion emphasizes the versatility of geometric series and calculus in creating unique mathematical shapes.

We have this final project for my math class and I was thinking of using geometeric series to get different shapes. I found this great website http://www.ugrad.math.ubc.ca/coursedoc/math101/notes/series/serapp.html but our teacher has already used it as an example. Do you know any other easy shapes I could do. Not involving :-p complex numbers...Julia Mandelbrot formula. It doesn't have to be about geometeric series it could be any thing that involves calculus.

You could do the anti-snowflake.

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
