		The Sierpinski carpet is a plane fractal first described by Wacław Sierpiński.
		The construction of the Sierpinski carpet begins with a square.
		Martin Barlow and Richard Bass have shown that a random walk on the Sierpinski carpet diffuses at a slower rate than an unrestricted random walk in the plane.

		Polish mathematician Waclaw Sierpinski (1882-1969) worked in the areas of set theory, topology and number theory, and made important contributions to the axiom of choice and continuum hypothesis.
		But he is best known for the fractal that bears his name, the Sierpinski triangle, which he introduced in 1916.
		The Sierpinski triangle, sometimes referred to as the Sierpinski gasket, is a simple iterated function system that often serves as the first example of a fractal given to elementary school or high school students.

		Waclaw Sierpinski also generated a plane-filling Peano curve.
		While the Hilbert curve is an open curve, the Sierpinski curve is closed; it bounds an area that is 5/12 that of the square it fills.
		Like the Hilbert curve, the Sierpinski curve is also the limit of an infinite series of curves.

		The Sierpinski curve is a base motif fractal where the base is a square.
		The curve is also known as the Sierpinski (universal plane) curve, Sierpinski square or the Sierpinski carpet.
		The curve is the only plane locally connected one-dimensional continuum S such that the boundary of each complementary domain of S is a simple closed curve and no two of these complementary domain boundaries intersect.

		Date: 01/15/97 at 10:28:11 From: Anonymous Subject: Sierpinski Triangle Hi, My name is Ryan and I would like to ask you a question.
		It means there are two ways to think about making Sierpinski's gasket, and these two ways, as you will see, seem to contradict each other.
		A figure whose dimension is not a whole number is called a `fractal'; Sierpinski's gasket is one of the oldest known fractals.

	Sierpinski Triangle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rather than try to re-build comprehensive university programs in several areas of research, Sierpinski, Kuratowski, Banach and others decided to work together in the emerging field of abstract spaces.
		As early as 1915, Sierpinski described a "gasket" or a "triangle" with repeated and proportionally reduced areas.
		Today these shapes are widely known as "fractals." Sierpinski's triangles would later emerge to be among the most recognizable shapes or patterns in all computer graphics.

		Polish mathematician who produced 724 papers and 50 books on the subject of mathematics.
		At a time when the Russians were aiming their efforts at keeping the Poles illiterate and generally uninformed, Sierpinski entered the Department of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Warsaw, where he proved to be an outstanding student, winning the department's gold medal for a dissertation on Voronoy's contribution to number theory.
		Sierpinski received dozens of medals, awards, and honors from the Royal Societies of most of the European nations, and founded several publications, among them the Fundamenta Mathematicae, which is important to this day.
