Graphical Construction
The blancmange curve can be visually built up out of sawtooth functions if the infinite sum is approximated by finite sums of the first few terms. In the illustration below, progressively finer sawtooth functions (shown in red) are added to the curve at each stage.
| n = 0 | n ≤ 1 | n ≤ 2 | n ≤ 3 |

Famous quotes containing the word construction:
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
