Sierpenski Show



The Polish mathematician Sierpinski (1882-1969) was a precursor to modern
 Chaos theory and its  show of fractals. The Sierpenski triangle, like a fractal, shows the same
geometrical relations at different scales.

Small Basic tutorial has a triangle fractal program that allows one to appreciate
the construct. In effect, a true Sierpinski triangle has an area of 0, and only points
within it.  The program runs at 100000 iterations.
