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:
“When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
