Introduction

Did you have a mobile over your crib? When we think about mobiles, that is the image most of us think about. However, mobiles are everywhere. Mobiles were first invented by artist, Alexander Calder in the 1930's.  Mobiles are used in the fields of math, science, art, and physics.  They demonstrate perfect balance.  They appear to be unnatural, the way they hang so perfectly.
