Möbius Strip
A Moebius strip is one-sided nonorientable surface obtained by cutting a closed band into a single strip, giving it half a twist, and then reattaching the two ends.
Möbius strip is a college-level concept that would be first encountered in a topology course.
Prerequisites
Surface: | A surface is a two-dimensional piece of three-dimensional space. |
Topology: | (1) As a branch of mathematics, topology is the mathematical study of object's properties that are preserved through deformations, twistings, and stretchings. (2) As a set, a topology is a set along with a collection of subsets that satisfy several defining properties. |
