Mathematics Department's Sierpinski Tetrahedron

Photos of the construction of the level 5 Sierpinski Tetrahedron - an amazing tower of triangles built by Senior School maths pupils. The classic 3-D fractal (a never-ending pattern), is an elegant structure that is a large tetrahedron created out of 1024 small (solid) tetrahedra. It can be seen on display outside the Queen Katharine Building, near the Art Department. More about the project here.
