Imaging maths - Inside the Klein bottle

Konrad Polthier

Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

What to do with such a bottle? Why not use it for something? Filling it was not easy, because the water flowing in blocked the air inside from coming out. So I decided to keep the remaining air in the bottle and see how effective the half−filled bottle was as a thermometer. I added a few crystals of potassium permanganate to colour the water and make it easier to mark the water levels on the glass. Imaging maths − Inside the Klein bottle
