Fractals
A fractal is a complex geometric shape characterized by self-similarity, meaning its structure appears similar at different scales. Fractals can be found in mathematics, nature, and art, often generated by repeating a simple process. They exhibit intricate patterns and are described by fractional dimensions, unlike traditional geometric figures. Common examples include the Mandelbrot set, snowflakes, coastlines, and fern leaves. Fractals are used in computer graphics, modeling natural phenomena, and signal processing. Their study combines mathematics, physics, and computer science, revealing patterns in seemingly chaotic systems.
