Abstract:Fractals are geometric objects that are self-similar, meaning that their basic structure remains the same regardless of the scale of magnification. Self-similarity is readily seen in nature, for example, in trees, coastlines, clouds, etc. — fractals are often used to simulate natural landscapes in movies. Fractals were discovered in the 1970s by Benoit Mandelbrot, and at first, they seemed like mere curiosities. But fractals soon developed into fractal geometry, whose unique methods have found many uses, from simulating natural landscapes to analyzing processes.
