Fractals
A fractal is a complex geometric shape characterized by self-similarity, meaning its structure is repeated at different scales. Fractals often exhibit intricate patterns that appear similar regardless of the level of magnification. They can be generated mathematically or observed in nature, such as in coastlines, snowflakes, and plants. Fractals have applications in computer graphics, modeling natural phenomena, and signal processing. Common examples include the Mandelbrot set and Julia set. They are studied in mathematics, physics, and art due to their unique properties and aesthetic appeal.
