  2. Möbius strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip

    A Möbius strip made with paper and adhesive tape. In mathematics, a Möbius strip, Möbius band, or Möbius loop [a] is a surface that can be formed by attaching the ends of a strip of paper together with a half-twist.

  3. Fiber bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_bundle

    The Möbius strip is a nontrivial bundle over the circle. Perhaps the simplest example of a nontrivial bundle E {\displaystyle E} is the Möbius strip . It has the circle that runs lengthwise along the center of the strip as a base B {\displaystyle B} and a line segment for the fiber F {\displaystyle F} , so the Möbius strip is a bundle of the ...

  4. Klein bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle

    Like the Möbius strip, the Klein bottle is a two-dimensional manifold which is not orientable. Unlike the Möbius strip, it is a closed manifold, meaning it is a compact manifold without boundary. While the Möbius strip can be embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space R 3, the Klein bottle cannot.

    The Möbius strip is one of the most famous objects in mathematics. Discovered in 1858 by two German mathematicians—August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing—the Möbius strip is a ...

  6. Flexagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexagon

    A tritetraflexagon can be folded from a strip of paper as shown. This figure has two faces visible, built of squares marked with As and Bs. The face of Cs is hidden inside the flexagon. The tritetraflexagon is the simplest tetraflexagon (flexagon with square sides). The "tri" in the name means it has three faces, two of which are visible at any ...

  7. Orientability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientability

    A torus is an orientable surface The Möbius strip is a non-orientable surface. Note how the disk flips with every loop. The Roman surface is non-orientable.. In mathematics, orientability is a property of some topological spaces such as real vector spaces, Euclidean spaces, surfaces, and more generally manifolds that allows a consistent definition of "clockwise" and "anticlockwise".

  8. Recycling symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_symbol

    The universal recycling symbol (U+2672 ♲ UNIVERSAL RECYCLING SYMBOL or U+267B ♻ BLACK UNIVERSAL RECYCLING SYMBOL in Unicode) is a symbol consisting of three chasing arrows folded in a Möbius strip. It is an internationally recognized symbol for recycling.

  9. Vector bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_bundle

    The (infinitely extended) Möbius strip is a line bundle over the 1-sphere S 1.Locally around every point in S 1, it looks like U × R (where U is an open arc including the point), but the total bundle is different from S 1 × R (which is a cylinder instead).
