What are Fractals

A fractal is a never-ending pattern that repeats itself at different scales, this property is called self-similarity, although fractals are very complex, they are made by repeating a simple operation driven by recursion.

Fractals are everywhere

In fact, nature is full of fractals. For instance trees, rivers, coastlines, mountains, clouds, seashells, hurricanes:

And there is Abstract fractals – such as the Mandelbrot Set – can be generated by a computer calculating a simple equation over and over:
