Fractals are geometric objects that are self-similar, i.e., you can break them apart into smaller pieces which are exact (but smaller) replicas of the original object. These smaller pieces in turn, ...

This is a mathematically rigorous introduction to fractals which emphasizes examples and fundamental ideas. Building up from basic techniques of geometric measure theory and probability, central ...

Marcus du Sautoy describes how fractal geometry can be used to describe natural objects, and how it is used in digital animation. Trees use the simple rule of trying to maximise surface area ...

I hate math. Or rather, doing math is what I hate. I hate doing it because I’m not good at it and I don’t like not being good ...

At the beginning of my third year at university studying mathematics, I spotted an announcement. A visiting professor from ...

A fractal – the term he derived from the Latin word fractus, meaning “broken” or “fragmented” – is a geometric shape that can ...
