At one time a famous mathematical curiosity, later a source of inspiration for artists, the strange properties of the Möbius strip have fascinated professionals and laymen alike ever since its discovery in 1865. Named after its creator, the German mathematician and astronomer August Ferdinand Möbius (1790–1868), it was the embryo of an entirely new branch of mathematics known as topology, the study of those properties of a surface which remain invariant when the surface undergoes a continuous deformation.
