Do the same to each of those, then again, without end. Every corner of the result holds a half-sized copy of the whole, meaning that the small details echo the larger design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWacław Sierpiński described this shape in 1915, and it became one of the first fractals mathematicians learned to recognize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut its beauty was recognized long before its mathematics had a name. Centuries before Sierpiński described it mathematically, medieval craftspeople laid a version of this pattern into the mosaic floor of Italy’s Anagni Cathedral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern has a practical side, too: engineers use its nested triangles to make antennas that pick up signals at different frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it’s for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFractals do real work: antenna engineers use Sierpinski shapes to make one antenna work across several frequency bands, and programmers meet the triangle as the classic lesson in recursion. A subtle nod for electrical engineers, software developers, computer scientists and math teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small hit of mathematics under a formal outfit, or the gift that actually gets worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Men’s Socks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75% polyester, 10% cotton, 10% nylon, 5% spandex: soft, breathable and stretchy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver-the-calf dress length, one size, about 46 cm (18 in) long.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack toe and heel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash warm, tumble dry low.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvery Zenzicube design is grown from a real piece of mathematics.
