Comments by "David Terr" (@dcterr1) on "Conway's IRIS and the windscreen wiper theorem" video.

  1. Geometry was never my specialty unfortunately, so I don't have anything like the intuition Conway had for coming up with his six-point theorem or the windscreen wiper theorem, but I'm still quite awed by both proofs! I'm also awed by the connection with curves of constant width, which I already knew about and strangely I had a feeling would be mentioned later in the video.

  2.  @Mathologer  Well in all fairness, I used to work at The Exploratorium in San Francisco, where they had an exhibit on them, so I was already pretty familiar with them.

  3. Is there any connection between curves of constant width and Bezier curves?
