Curse of Dimensionality: Volume Ratio
-------------------------------------

This figure shows the ratio of the volume of a unit hypercube to the volume
of an inscribed hypersphere.  The curse of dimensionality is illustrated in
the fact that this ratio approaches zero as the number of dimensions
approaches infinity.
