• 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.
