Fractal geometry is a type of math that focuses on repeating patterns. It explores shapes and structures that look the same at different scales. It helps us understand the complexity and beauty of nature and various objects, like snowflakes and coastlines, by finding similar patterns within them.

The set is named for Benoit B. Mandelbrot, a research fellow at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y.. From his work with geometric forms Mandelbrot has developed the field he
calls fractal geometry, the mathematical study of forms having a fractional dimension.

complex fractal geometry and tessellation, inspired by the Egyptian Pyramids and the threatened coral reefs of the Red Sea.
Some project deliverables are put into actual use in the community as well, such as last year's project in which snow flakes with designs based
on fractal geometry were hung downtown.

fractal geometry quantify the symmetry in a Jackson Pollock?
As a child, Wildenboer had a fascination with pop - up books, and her passion for remaking these vintage books into a grown - up's version, inspired
by fractal geometry, is apparent.

Fractal Geometry) to climate models and the physical measures we base them on:
The complementary soundtrack by Maurizio Morganti is pretty entrancing, and Bocci's fascination with the micro / macro-scaled workings of of nature and
fractal geometries is evident in the subjects he chooses to focus on, whether it's meditative time - lapses of Icelandic landscapes, or the visual sounds of cymatics or the complex dynamics of Julia sets.
