Judith B. Bruckner, Brian S. Thomson and Andrew M. Bruckner Can One Visualize a
Continuous Nowhere Differentiable Function? The American Mathematical Monthly,
130:3, 214-221.
Although a continuous nowhere differentiable function (aka a
“monster”) is a classic example in introductory analysis texts, it is not very
easy to visualize. The authors offer a geometric approach that avoids the
computational and visual complications of using infinite sums of functions for
constructing monsters. This lively paper gives readers a chance to reevaluate
their visual concept of a continuous nowhere differentiable function
