Students will discover the ways that fractal geometry interrelates artistic, scientific, and mathematical approaches to investigating natural forms, patterns and systems. Students will develop an ...
You may not know what fractals are, mathematically speaking, but you know what they look like: tangled, crenelated forms bending and burbling in on themselves into infinity in a geometric, yet weirdly ...
You may not be able to define “fractal” — yet — but fractals are, in fact, everywhere. As you might expect from hearing her title, Hayley Brazier, Donald M. Kerr curator of natural history at the High ...
