What are Fractals? - Fractal Foundation
WEBFractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos.
Fractal - Wikipedia
WEBIn mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the topological dimension.
What are fractals and how can they help us understand the world?
WEBMay 21, 2024 · Formally speaking, fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. But, in an echo of their geometry, fractals can help us better understand the world...
Fractals in Math - Definition, Types, & Examples
WEBJan 29, 2024 · In this article, we’ll explain the definition, types, and applications of fractals. Let’s unravel the mysteries of this topic. What are fractals? Fractal is a pattern that never ends. It elaborates mathematical constructs that exhibit self-similarity, meaning they display similar patterns or structures when zoomed in or out.

Fractal Patterns | Exploratorium
WEBMake dendritic diversions and bodacious branches. Lightning bolts, river deltas, tree branches, and coastlines are all examples of patterns in nature called fractals. In this Snack, you get a striking hands-on introduction to fractal patterns and how they’re formed.
Fractals – Mathigon
WEBIn mathematics, we call this property self-similarity, and shapes that have it are called fractals. They are some of the most beautiful and most bizarre objects in all of mathematics. To create our own fractals, we have to start with a simple pattern and then repeat it over and over again, at smaller scales.
What is a Fractal? - The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Fractals
WEBA Fractal is a type of mathematical shape that are infinitely complex. In essence, a Fractal is a pattern that repeats forever, and every part of the Fractal, regardless of how zoomed in, or zoomed out you are, it looks very similar to the whole image. Fractals surround us in so many different aspects of life.
Fractals | Brilliant Math & Science Wiki
WEBThere are examples of this repeating pattern on every scale in nature, from seashells, crystals, leaves, and feathers to clouds, coastlines, mountains, and spiral galaxies. We will explore these fractal patterns and ways to describe, generate, and measure these shapes.
