Abstract:Fractals are geometric objects that are selfsimilar, 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.
