Fractals
Fractals are complex geometric shapes that exhibit self-similarity at various scales, meaning they look similar regardless of the level of magnification. They are often generated by iterative processes and can be found in both mathematical constructs and natural phenomena, such as coastlines, snowflakes, and plant growth. The study of fractals has applications in various fields, including computer graphics, nature modeling, and signal processing. Notable examples include the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets. Fractals challenge traditional notions of dimension, as they can possess non-integer dimensions.
