Did you know?

Did you know that the mathematical study of shapes, particularly in geometry, helped inspire the invention of computer graphics, leading to the creation of the first digital image in 1957 by Russell Kirsch, which was a simple scanned photo shaped like a circle? This breakthrough not only revolutionized visual technology but also paved the way for modern CGI in movies and video games.
