Mathematical Ambigrams
On the site QED Cat, you can find a very nice article written by Burkard Polster on the subject of mathematical ambigrams. One of my favorites from the article is a 2x2 determinant written using Roman numerals:
As you see it written here you get the equation: X·I-II·IV=II (10x1-2x4=2). If you flip it as a mirror image you get the equation: II=VI·II-I·X (2=6x2-1x10).
What other mathematical ambigrams do you know of?
Be sure to check out some of B. Polster's books on mathematics:
