B
Basis of Vector Spaces +	The same object, here a circle, can be completely different when viewed in other vector spaces.
Blue Fern +	The Blue Fern is a fractal, similar to Barnsley's Fern fractal that was created by Michael Barnsley using an iterated function system.
Blue Wash +	This image is a random fractal that is created by continually dividing a rectangle into two parts and adjusting the brightness of each resulting part.
Boys Surface (Bryant and Kusner) +	The Boy surface is a nonorientable surface that is one possible parametrization of the surface obtained by sewing a Möbius strip to the edge of a disk.
Broken Heart +	A broken heart created by a variation on a fractal.
Brunnian Links +	These are Borromean Rings...
Bump Mapping +	Bump mapping is the process of applying a height map to a lit polygon to give a polygon the perception of depth.
C
Cantor Set +	A Cantor set is a simple [[Field:Fractals\|fractal]] that laid the foundation for modern topology. The picture at right is an artistic representation of the Cantor set.
Cardioid +	The Cardioid, more commonly referred to as the heart curve is a [[Roulette\|roulette]], more specifically an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicycloid epicycloid] with one cusp.
Catenary +	A catenary is the curve created by a theoretical representation of a hanging chain or cable held at both ends.
Change Of Coordinate Transformations +	An example of various coordinate transformations applied to simple geometry.
Change of Coordinate Systems +	The same object, here a disk, can look completely different depending on which coordinate system is used.
Chryzodes +	Chryzodes are visualizations of arithmetic using chords in a circle.
Complex Numbers +	We visualize complex numbers in the same way we visualize an ordered pair on a plane.
Conic Section +	A conic section is a curve created from the intersection of a plane with a cone.
Copy of VOR +	This image is a variation of the Henon Attractor, which is a fractal in the division of the chaotic ''Strange Attractors'' named after astronomer Michel Henon. The Henon Attractor emerged from Henon's attempt to model the orbits of celestial objects.
D
Different Strokes +	Different Strokes is generated with Ultra Fractal, a program designed by Frederik Slijkerman. It consists of 10 layers and uses both Julia and Mandelbrot fractal formulas and other formulas for coloring.
Divergence Theorem +	The water flowing out of a fountain demonstrates an important theorem for vector fields, the '''Divergence Theorem'''.
Dragons 1 +	A tessellation created in the style of M.C … A tessellation created in the style of M.C. Escher. Escher was famous for his lithographs depicting tessellations or endless loops. Tessellations are images that repeat and seamlessly mesh within one another. Each image alternates color, creating a beautiful and potentially endless work of art. tiful and potentially endless work of art.
Dual Polyhedron +	This image shows the five [[Platonic Solid\|Platonic solids]] in the first row, their duals directly below them in the second row, and the compounds of the Platonic solids and their duals in the third row.
E
Exp series.gif +	A Taylor series or Taylor polynomial is a series expansion of a function used to approximate its value around a certain point.
F
Ford Circles +	This is an example of a fractal image called Ford Circles which is a subset of the [[Problem of Apollonius\|Apollonian gasket]]
Four Color Theorem +	This image shows a four coloring and graph representation of the United States.
Fourier Transform +	A Fourier Transform changes a function's domain from time to frequency
Frabjous +	Frabjous is a sculpture created by George W. Hart from laser cut aspen wood. The sculpture is constructed from elongated s-curve pieces that, when fitted together, create a swirling vortex.
