Understanding the Möbius Strip

The video tutorial explores the Möbius strip, a non-orientable surface discovered by August Möbius in 1858. It explains the unique properties of the Möbius strip, such as having only one side and one boundary, and its applications in technology and art. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions to create a Möbius strip and demonstrates experiments that reveal its fascinating characteristics.
