Moebius

Surface without boundary

Moebius is the Latinized spelling of Möbius, appearing most often in the term Moebius strip (or Möbius strip), a surface with only one side and one edge, formed by twisting a rectangular strip and joining its ends.

The name honors German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius.

The Moebius strip appears in mathematics, art, and popular culture as a symbol of infinity or paradox.
