The Mandelbrot set, according to Wikipedia, is “the set of complex numbers for which the function does not diverge.” Even if you don’t understand the mathematics behind it, you’ve likely seen the ...

The fractal geometry of roughness is a very old topic. It is basically about messes. It's not that roughness is a regularity of order, but vice versa, as the basis of all shapes is roughness.

MATHEMATICS is a curious subject. Though often classed as one, it is not really a science. That scientists use it to describe their interpretation of reality is not quite the same thing. Nor, though, ...

A group of fractal image makers claim to have made the best three-dimensional portrayal to date of the Mandelbrot set, one of the best-known fractal equations. Yet the path there was not ...
