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, infinite detail, and fractional dimensions, differing from traditional Euclidean shapes. Famous examples include the Mandelbrot set and natural phenomena like coastlines, snowflakes, and ferns. Fractals are used in computer graphics, modeling, and signal processing. Their study combines mathematics, physics, and art, revealing patterns underlying complex systems.
