Computer generated fractal
The term fractal was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975 It comes from the Latin fractus meaning an irregular surface like that of a broken stone Fractals are non regular geometric shapes that have the same degree of non regularity on all scales Just as a stone at the base of a foothill can resemble in miniature the mountain from which it originally tumbled down so are fractals self similar whether you view them from close up or very far away Fractal images are created by repeatedly calculating a fractal formula Although these formulas are purely mathematical the resulting pictures are often very beautiful and complex
