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.

How are fractals apart of math?

Fractals are generated from recursive mathematical equations, this is why you can zoom-in on them infinitely and they will continue to repeat themselves (this is also why they are so computationally intensive)


How do fractals relate to math?

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).

How are fractals used?

They are used to model various situations where it is believed that some infinite "branching" effect best describes the geometry. For examples of how I have employed fractals as a theoretician, check out the "related links" included with this answer. I hope you like what you see.


What are some common techniques for generating fractals?

Some common techniques for generating fractals would be to use iterated function systems, strange attractors, escape-time fractals, and random fractals.


What are the list of fractals?

There are infinitely many fractals so no list can exist.


How is geometry related to fractals?

Geometry and fractals are closely related, as fractals are geometric shapes that display self-similarity across different scales. While traditional geometry often focuses on shapes with defined dimensions and properties, fractals can have infinitely complex structures that challenge conventional notions of size and form. They are mathematically generated using recursive algorithms, highlighting the relationship between geometric principles and complex patterns found in nature. This connection illustrates how geometry can extend beyond simple shapes to encompass intricate, infinitely detailed structures.


How many different fractals are there in the universe?

By their very nature fractals are infinite in extent.
