    Extractions: Java Applet by Nick Lilavois This is a Fractal generator written in the Java programming language You can zoom into the fractal image by either clicking on it or drawing a square around an area. The best places to zoom in are right on the edge of the black shape, near the colored bands. You can also set the fractal's parameters in each of the selectors and fields to the left of the fractal image. The first selector is the formula selector. With this box you can choose which fractal formula will be rendered. The first option on the list is the Mandelbrot set. This applet has a highly optimized Mandelbrot equation, and that formula will render much faster than any of the other formulas. The second selector is the plane selector- what the plane options are is explained below in the Introduction to Fractal Mathematics section.

Fractal Intro Mandelbrot Sierpinski Gallery ... Return to Homepage a fractal is a geometric shape that can subdivided into parts, each of which is a reduced-size copy of the whole. the term was coined in the 1960s by benoit mandelbrot, a mathematician at IBM who adapted it from the latin adjective fractus , meaning "fragmented." to get a feel for what a fractal is, imagine inspecting a long, craggly, leafless tree branch on a frosty winter day. as your eyes scan the branch from its base to its tips, you notice that many sub-branches are generated along the way, and each sub-branch has a structure symmetric to the original, but smaller in scale. these sub-branches in turn fork off self-symmetric branches of their own. in the purest sense of a fractal, we imagine this branching process as never ending. you could compare it to the effect produced when two mirrors are faced toward each other, producing a claustrophobic, tunnel-like view of infinite imitation at smaller and smaller scales. a nice example of this is seen in the mandelbrot fractal at left, designed by Paul deCelle. usually one's first response to fractals is simply this: they are beautiful! indeed, they are visually arresting, and there are many reasons why. perhaps one reason is that they exhibit extreme levels of

    Extractions: Jump to: navigation search The boundary of the Mandelbrot set is a famous example of a fractal Another view of the Mandelbrot set. A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity . The term was coined by Beno®t Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A fractal often has the following features: Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex (in informal terms). Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, and snow flakes. However, not all self-similar objects are fractals—for example, the real line (a straight Euclidean line) is formally self-similar but fails to have other fractal characteristics.

    Extractions: Fractal A fractal is an object or quantity that displays self-similarity , in a somewhat technical sense, on all scales. The object need not exhibit exactly the same structure at all scales, but the same "type" of structures must appear on all scales. A plot of the quantity on a log-log graph versus scale then gives a straight line, whose slope is said to be the fractal dimension . The prototypical example for a fractal is the length of a coastline measured with different length rulers . The shorter the ruler , the longer the length measured, a paradox known as the coastline paradox Illustrated above are the fractals known as the Gosper island Koch snowflake box fractal Sierpinski sieve ...

    Extractions: "There are many mathematical structures that are fractals; e.g. Sierpinski triangle, Koch snowflake, Peano curve, Mandelbrot set, and Lorenz attractor. Fractals also describe many real-world objects, such as clouds, mountains, turbulence, and coastlines, that do not correspond to simple geometric shapes." The Fractal FAQ was created and edited by Ken Shirriff through September 26, 1994. The current editor is Ermel Stepp. "Basically, a fractal is any pattern that reveals greater complexity as it is enlarged. Thus, fractals graphically portray the notion of 'worlds within worlds' which has obsessed Western culture from its tenth-century beginnings." Beck further explains that when we look very closely at patterns that are Euclidean, the shapes look more and more like straight lines, but that when you look at a fractal up close you see more and more details.

    http://www.willamette.edu/~sekino/fractal/
    
    Extractions: Speaking loosely without technical terms such as the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension and topological dimension of a set of points, a fractal , which was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975, is a geometric shape that is self-similar , i.e., a large part of it contains a great many smaller parts that resemble the large part in some way see Figure 1 below. Nature is filled with fractals as seen in such objects as mountains, shorelines, trees (branches, barks and roots), ferns, fluid flow patterns, cloud formations (with or without lightning), blood vessels and mycelium strands. Mathematicians conceived the notion of fractal more than a hundred years ago and have since developed deep and extensive theories to formulate a field now referred to as fractal geometry . A novel and intriguing computer-generated fractal image plotted by Mandelbrot in 1979 and later called the Mandelbrot set stimulated and accelerated the development. It is now known that fractal geometry not only provides mathematical insights into natural objects and phenomena that are beyond the reach of Euclidean geometry, but also has numerous applications in and significant influence over surprisingly many areas in sciences, mathematics and art.

    Short Article from Inside Science News Service describing the basics. Includes illustrations and links.  
    http://www.aip.org/isns/reports/2003/086.html
    
    Extractions: A fractal Christmas In the case of the fir tree standing in a Christmas tree lot, each branch has structure that, when studied up close, resembles a whole tree, and on each branch there are a smaller, tree-like branches. Even the needles on the tiniest branch are arranged in patterns reminiscent of the structure of the entire fir tree. The tree's structure can be described by a mathematical equation. The equation and the tree are fractals, patterns that repeat at various scales. Fractals also describe many real-world objects that do not have simple geometric shapes, such as clouds, mountains, turbulence, and coastlines. Fractals will look the same regardless of the scale shown. For instance, an ice crystal viewed at full size and a detail of one small branch of the ice crystal have a similar structure it's often difficult to tell which is the magnified image.

    http://www.public.asu.edu/~starlite/
    
    Extractions: Shown here, the stage-4 Sierpinski tetrahedron provides a powerful visual introduction to fractal geometry and the concept of "self-similarity", in which a shape can be broken into smaller copies of the whole. Each new stage is composed of 4 smaller copies of the previous stage. As the number of stages increases, the Sierpinski tetrahedron approaches "exact self-similarity". Such geometric fractals provide an important scientific model for characterizing many of the complex processes and shapes found in the natural world, that are echoed in the settings of the tetrahedra. Trees, land formations, clouds, and their images exhibit "statistical self-similarity" in which a small part "looks like", but not "exactly like" the whole. Just as a part of the Sierpinski tetrahedron reminds one of the whole, a small branch of a tree reminds one of the entire tree. The mathematics of fractal geometry and the science of chaos are now bridging the gaps between math, science, art, and culture. They treat the messiness of the everyday world. They are based on natural self-similarity and observations of complicated behavior from simple equations. They provide a new mathematical language for capturing, manipulating, and simulating nature.
