Extract

About four years ago after consulting my copy of Cundy and Rollett [1] and then leaving it on my desk, I noticed that it had fallen open at a diagram of an approximation to Von Koch’s ‘snowflake’ curve. Interest in such curves has increased of late but for most mathematics students they make a fleeting appearance in the analysis course as examples of closed, continuous curves of infinite length and differentiable nowhere.
