Functions with Multiple Periods
Functions with multiple variables can have multiple periods.
Out[1]= | |
Tesselating rectangles split the plane into regions where the function repeats.

Out[2]= | |
A function of a single complex variable can have two periods, in two different complex directions.
Out[3]= | |
Out[4]= | |
Adding either of these periods to the input variable will leave the function unchanged.
Out[5]= | |
However, in this example the two complex directions are not perpendicular.
Out[6]= | |
This means that the repeating blocks in the complex plane are parallelograms rather than rectangles.
