Title: The square is a circle… or perhaps a tetrahedron.


 

Abstract: In this talk, I’ll show you how to ‘rotate’ a certain kind of square matrix by an amount that is NOT a multiple of 90 degrees, effectively turning the square into a circle. We’ll also see how to turn the square into a partial tetrahedron and what the ‘rotation’ looks like under this transformation.
