Dancing number factorization

Representing numbers in a geometric way is an ancient fact, let only remember the squared numbers or the triangular ones. A similar idea was introduced by Brent Yorgey where one could "read" the factors of a number, as illustrated at his factorization diagrams. This beautiful idea became alive in an interactive dancing presentation by Stephen Von Worley. Click here and enjoy!
