	Helge von Koch
		Niels Fabian Helge von Koch (January 25, 1870 - March 11, 1924) was a Swedish mathematician, who gave his name to the famous fractal known as the Koch curve, which was one of the earliest fractal curves to have been described.
		One of his results was a 1901 theorem proving that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to a strengthened form of the prime number theorem.
		He described the Koch curve in a 1906 paper entitled "Une méthode géométrique élémentaire pour l'étude de certaines questions de la théorie des courbes plane" [1].

	Helge von Koch Summary
		Von Koch, the son of a career soldier, was born in Stockholm, Sweden on January 25, 1870.
		Von Koch curves and snowflakes are also unusual in that they have infinite perimeters, but finite areas.
		Niels Fabian Helge von Koch (January 25, 1870 - March 11, 1924) was a Swedish mathematician, who gave his name to the famous fractal known as the Koch snowflake, which was one of the earliest fractal curves to have been described.

	Koch biography
		The second of von Koch's papers was published in 1892, the year in which von Koch was awarded a doctorate for his thesis which contained the results of the two papers.
		In July 1911 von Koch succeeded Mittag-Leffler as professor of mathematics at Stockholm University.
		Von Koch is famous for the Koch curve which appears in his paper Une méthode géométrique élémentaire pour l'étude de certaines questions de la théorie des courbes plane published in 1906.

		The purpose of this project is to show how to create a von Koch curve, including a von Koch snowflake.
		For the von Koch "snowflake," start with an equilateral triangle, and apply the "rule" above to each of the line segments.
		The von Koch curve has a self-similarity, Hausdorff dimension, D = log 4/ log 3 = 1.2619.

		The Koch curve is as difficult to understand as the Cantor set or the Serpinski tree.
		Actually Koch's motivation for finding this curve was to provide another example for the discovery made by the German mathematician Karl Weierstrass, who in 1872 had precipitated a minor crisis in mathematics.
		It therefore might come as a surprise that the area enclosed by the Koch curve is finite the proof of which we leave as an exercise for a motivated reader.

	Problem Set 1
		Among the most famous line systems are the von Koch snowflake, first described by Helge von Koch in 1904, the Peano curve, the Hilbert curve, and the Cantor set.
		For the von Koch snowflake, the initiator is an equilateral triangle, and the generator consists of a line segment with the middle third removed and replaced by two sides of an equilateral triangle, as shown.
		In the case of the von Koch snowflake, after stage 0 we have an equilateral triangle, after stage 1 we have a six-pointed star, after stage 2 we have a six-pointed star with little bumps on each point, etc.

	text4
		Koch discovered that by continuing the process endlessly on an increasingly smaller scale it became a continuous curve containing an infinite number of minute bends.
		The Koch curve is of infinite length yet finite space; it is more than a line with one dimension but less than a plane with two dimensions; it is an endless loop where lines never cross; and at any level of magnification a portion resembles the whole.
		Because the repetitions are identical, the Koch curve is a fractal that is self-similar under linear transformation.

	Koch's Snowflake, Mandelbrot's Coastline, Alaska Science Forum
		In 1904, the Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch described an interesting curiosity.
		Koch had shown that a finite area can be enclosed by an infinite line.
		In the 1960s, Koch's snowflake resurfaced in the hands of another mathematician given to upsetting his colleagues.

	Koch Snowflake
		In 1904 the Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch proposed a method for constructing a "snowflake" curve.
		Like the Sierpinski curve, the Koch curve is a closed limit curve of infinite length that bounds a region of finite area.
		Thus the Koch snowflake is an infinitely long curve that encloses a finite area.

	CS212 F98 Problem Set 1
		For the von Koch snowflake, the initiator is an equilateral triangle with sides oriented in a clockwise direction.
		The generator of the von Koch snowflake is a rule that says: for any (oriented) line segment, remove the middle third and replace it by two sides of an equilateral triangle.
		For the von Koch snowflake, the first figure would be the equilateral triangle, the second would be a six-pointed star, the third would be a six-pointed star with little bumps on each point, etc.

		In the case of the von Koch snowflake, the zero'th figure would be an equilateral triangle, the first figure would be a a six-pointed star, the second figure would be a six-pointed star with little bumps on each point, etc.

	Koch curve - ExampleProblems.com
		The Koch curve is a mathematical curve, and one of the earliest fractal curves to have been described.
		The better known Koch snowflake (or Koch star) is the same as the curve, except it starts with an equilateral triangle instead of a line segment.
		The area of the Koch snowflake is 8/5 that of the initial triangle, so an infinite perimeter encloses a finite area.

		Von Koch è famoso per la curva che porta il suo nome e che apparve nel suo lavoro Une méthode géométrique élémentaire pour l'étude de certaines questions de la théorie des courbes planes, pubblicato nel 1906.

		The von Koch curve is another famous example of a fractal.
		Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch proved that this curve is continuous but nowhere differentiable.
		The von Koch curve is the limit of the set Gk as k tends to infinity, in other words it's what we get if we keep on performing the recursive subdivision described ad infinitum.

		One mathematician, Helge von Koch, captured this idea in a mathematical construction called the Koch curve.
		Keep on adding new triangles to the middle part of each side, and the result is a Koch curve.
		However, the inner area of the Koch curve remains less than the area of a circle drawn around the original triangle.

		The genuine Von Koch curve, also called snowflake curve, is derived as the limit of a polygonal contour.
		At every step, as shown on the left, the middle third of every side of the polygone is replaced with two linear segments at angles 60° and 120°.
		Of course, the Von Koch curve does not look like a "natural" curve.

	Koch snowflake
		One of the most symmetric and easy to understand fractals; it is named after the Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch (1870-1924), who first described it in 1906.
		The Koch curve has infinite length because each iteration increases the length of a line segment one third, and the iterations go on forever.
		Variations on the flat Koch snowflake include the so-called exterior snowflake, the Koch antisnowflake, and the flowsnake curves.

		A randomized Koch snowflake is generated exactly like the Koch snowflake, except that we flip a coin to generate the clockwise and counterclockwise direction at each step.

		Even in the bleak lanscape of a frozen tundra, patterns can be found at all scales, whether in the gentle curve of a wind swept serac or in the intricate crystalline structure of a snowflake.
		Niels Fabian Helge von Koch (1870-1924) was a swedish mathematician who first played with the figures we are discussing.
		In fact, this sequence of drawings does have a limit, in a technical sense, and that limit is called "von Koch's Curve." What's interesting, is that if you arrange 3 copies of the curve along the edges of an equilateral triangle, you get the figure at left.
