Fractals are a special kind of curve. They are space filling curves and have dimensions that are between those of a line (D = 1) and an area (D = 2).
But to a mathematician, it is a neat, neat subject area. Why are fractals important? Fractals help us study and understand important scientific concepts, such as the way bacteria grow, patterns in freezing water (snowflakes) and brain waves, for example. Their formulas have made possible many scientific breakthroughs.
Pi is a number. There are no fractals of pi.
Crystals are usually not fractals.
There are several fun math games that one could play with kids. Some of these include: Number Monster, Fractals, Math Flash Cards, Brain Benders, and Calculate Stuff.
Nobody. Fractals are not owned by anyone!
The Beauty of Fractals was created in 1986.
Some common techniques for generating fractals would be to use iterated function systems, strange attractors, escape-time fractals, and random fractals.
There are infinitely many fractals so no list can exist.
Fractals are used for computer generated terrains.
Fractals were discovered in 1975 by a scientist names Benoit Mandelbrot.
By their very nature fractals are infinite in extent.
