What is a
"scientific lanyard" ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
It is a lanyard made by
connecting a series of strips of fabric,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
with the lengths of
those strips representing some meaningful scientific number or mathematical
series.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
For example: The first 5
digits of Pi (3.1415) could be represented by this 14-inch long patchwork
strip:

|
|
|
|
|
