Nesbit Ring
 

That's right, in my very own calculus class a new mathematical construction similar to a Moebius strip was created. It is called a Nesbit Ring after its creator. It can be constructed by getting a strip of paper, tearing it down the middle lengthways for about halfway down the strip, and then gluing one of the strands to the other to form a loop. This strip/ring combo will then have, like a Moebius strip, one side and one edge, but it will also have one vertex.

Can you tell we were bored in calculus? :D

What.

What's special about a Moebius Strip anyway? It would be more awesome if it were somekind of stripping technique used by strippers, but it isn't. :(

Yay! Part of my username was included! XD

What?

Spam much?

if you think about the structure of the object, it's exactly just like mobeus strip with more sharp edge at some places (both mobeus strip and this object have only 1 edge too)

Didn't know this was mathematical! It was just talking about a nesbit ring and a strip!

That was exactly how it came into the conversation in my calc class. Its creator asked my teacher if it could be considered a Moebius strip, and he said no, so we called it a Nesbit Ring. I'll create one tomorrow and post a picture so you can see, in real terms, exactly what I mean.

Also, I never thought I'd say this, but thank you, russ, for bringing some ACTUAL on-topic discussion to the thread. :p

What's a vertex?

What's Mathematics? Is something new? :tongue:
