Hilbert Curve

Andreas Loos

Description

The Hilbert Curve is an example of a continuous non differentiable curve completely filling the space and an early example for a fractal. It provides an example for a proof that cube contains exactly as many points as the reals. The latter was in history a major result that lead to new a definition of the notion of dimension; more in [1].
