Bruce and Katharine Cornwell are primarily known for a series of remarkable animated films on the subject of geometry. Created on the Tektronics 4051 Graphics Terminal, they are brilliant short films, tracing Klee-like geometric shapes to intriguing music, including the memorable 'Bach meets Third Steam Jazz' musical score in ‘Congruent Triangles.’ In this melding of art and science, the Cornwells create a quasi-hypnotic take on a mathematical construct.

Indoctrination
After watching this video I was surprised to find that I'd joined a maths cult. We are currently in the middle of a triangle going round in circles. Wonderful!

Boringly beautiful
The first part isn't that interesting to me, however the ending, which starts at
5:11 is absolutely amazing. I'm going to go watch that again, it's that cool.

Love it
Nothing to add beyond the previous reviews, just wanted to bulk up the review score for a dandy film. I enjoyed it for art, I think you need to already know the ideas to figure them out from the film. Maybe it's supposed to be the treat after the lecture?

Wow!!
Gorgeous film! Love the ending especially; the motion is fantastic. Too bad they don't show stuff like this to kids these days. Heck, too bad kids don't have the attention span for this stuff anymore :P

Are you congruent?
I love congruent triangles! The music is pretty snappy too.
