Fractal Geometry

Fractal Geometry


"Fractal Geometry is not just a chapter of mathematics, but one that helps
Everyman to see the same old world differently". - Benoit Mandelbrot

The world of mathematics usually tends to be thought of as abstract. Complex and
imaginary numbers, real numbers, logarithms, functions, some tangible and others
imperceivable. But these abstract numbers, simply symbols that conjure an image,
a quantity, in our mind, and complex equations, take on a new meaning with
fractals - a concrete one. Fractals go from being very simple equations on a
piece of paper to colorful, extraordinary images, and most of all, offer an
explanation to things. The importance of fractal geometry is that it provides an
answer, a comprehension, to nature, the world, and the universe. Fractals occur
in swirls of scum on the surface of moving water, the jagged edges of mountains,
ferns, tree trunks, and canyons. They can be used to model the growth of cities,
detail medical procedures and parts of......
