Editing Koch snowflake (section)

== Origin and history ==
There is no doubt that the snowflake curve is based on the von Koch curve and its iterative construction. However, the picture of the snowflake does not appear in either the original article published in 1904<ref name="Koch" /> nor in the extended 1906 memoir.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=von Koch |first=Helge |date=1906 |title=Une méthode géométrique élémentaire pour l'étude de certaines questions de la théorie des courbes planes |url=https://projecteuclid.org/journals/acta-mathematica/volume-30/issue-none/Une-m%c3%a9thode-g%c3%a9om%c3%a9trique-%c3%a9l%c3%a9mentaire-pour-l%c3%a9tude-de-certaines-questions-de/10.1007/BF02418570.full |journal=Acta Mathematica |language=French |volume=30 |issue= |pages=145–174 |doi=10.1007/BF02418570 |issn=0001-5962}}</ref> So one can ask who is the man who constructed the snowflake figure first. An investigation of this question suggests that the snowflake curve is due to the American mathematician [[Edward Kasner]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Demichel |first=Yann |date=2024-09-13 |title=Who Invented von Koch's Snowflake Curve? |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00029890.2024.2363737 |journal=The American Mathematical Monthly |language=en |volume=131 |issue=8 |pages=662–668 |arxiv=2308.15093 |doi=10.1080/00029890.2024.2363737 |issn=0002-9890 |via=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Kasner |first1=Edward |title=Mathematics and the imagination |last2=Newman |first2=James R. |date=2001 |publisher=Dover Publications |isbn=978-0-486-41703-5 |location=Mineola, N.Y}}</ref>
