The Fract-ED Information Pages LinkExchange Member Thank you for visiting the Fract-ED pages. Herein are presented excerpts from the first installment of Fract-ED, along with descriptions and sample images from some of the forthcoming additions to the series. What is Fract-ED? Fract-ED is an introductory fractal tutorial intended for high school or college entry-level students. It is an informal discussion of some of the elements of fractal geometry, and includes interactive programs ...

Exploring Fractals by Mary Ann Connors publications and photos Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Massachusetts Amherst This World Wide Web project commenced in July 1994. It is is based on a curriculum, entitled "Exploring Fractal Dimension," developed by Mary Ann Connors and Anna Rose Haralampus at an NSF funded Institute for High School Mathematics Teachers at Georgetown University July - August, 1991. Its revision entitled "Exploring Fractals: From Cantor Dust to ...

This page has nothing whatever to do with real ferns except the beauty of likenesses you can create of them. Like many people, I've been fascinated by the images of ferns generated by computer using the mathematics of fractals. When I mentioned to a friend that I was developing a series of Web pages on ferns, he suggested I also include a piece on fractal ferns (thanks HR). This page is the result. Put simply (probably a gross oversimplification), fractals generate points to plot on ...

[an error occurred while processing this directive] What Is a Fractal? And who is this guy Mandelbrot? Images and text by Alan Beck The word "fractal" was coined less than twenty years ago by one of history's most creative mathematicians, Benoit Mandelbrot, whose seminal work, The Fractal Geometry of Nature, first introduced and explained concepts underlying this new vision. Although prior mathematical thinkers like Cantor, Hausdorff, Julia, Koch, Peano, Poincare, Richardson, Sierpinski, W ...

Fractals and the Fractal Dimension Mandelbrot and Nature "Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."(Mandelbrot, 1983). The Concept of Dimension So far we have used "dimension" in two senses: The three dimensions of Euclidean space (D=1,2,3) The number of variables in a dynamic system Fractals, which are irregular geometric objects, require a third meaning: The Hausdorff Dimens ...

Suzanne's Math Lessons Fractals Suzanne Alejandre Magic Squares || Multicultural Math Fair || Polyhedra || Tessellations What is a fractal? From the Fractal FAQ: "A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole. Fractals are generally self-similar and independent of scale." "There are many mathematical structures that are fractals; e.g. Sierpinski triangl ...

You are visitor number since May 15, 1997. Back to Projects Welcome to Fractal World! On this web page, you will be introduced to the mysterious world of fractal geometry. You have the choice to learn about three major topics of fractal (see chart below).By clicking on "What is a Fractal?", you will find basic information on the formulas and origins of fractal geometry. Under "What is a Fractal? 2", I've included more complicated information like the Mandelbrot function, and imagina ...
