A fractal, sometimes also referred to as a fractal, is a geometric figure that is self-similar. It is made up of parts that are more or less similar to the figure itself, writen by Bryan Dijkhuizen and published in Honest Creative.
Fractals
have an infinite amount of detail, and some fractals feature motifs
that repeat themselves on an increasingly smaller scale. Typically,
fractals can be generated by repeatedly applying a particular operation.
The term fractal was introduced in 1975 by Benoît Mandelbrot and is
derived from the Latin fractus (broken).

Mathematical objects with fractal properties were discovered in the late 19th and early 20th century by mathematicians such as Karl Weierstrass, Helge von Koch, Georg Cantor, Henri Poincaré, and Gaston Julia.
Fractal geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the properties of fractals. It complements classical geometry, with applications in science, technology, and computer art.
The most famous fractals are the Mandelbrot set and the Julia set...
ractal mathematics was too popular among scientists in the 1980s — 1990s. Fractals were thought to be recognized everywhere and in everything, and these mathematics was applied inappropriately and inappropriately, so much so that in 2004 fractals are somewhat discredited in science.This is all the more curious because a fractal, like a sphere or a triangle, is a mathematical concept that is neither true nor false but simply created by definition.
