Abstract
After creating an eye-catching logo for the San Joaquin Math Teachers’ Circle, we decided to spend a session studying it. Our investigation evolved into a journey covering over 2000 years of mathematics history, beginning with a lost work created by Apollonius, moving to a problem posed by a princess, and arriving in the strange world of fractals.
