    Fractal Geometry

    Fractals are geometric shapes that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole. They are typically self-similar and characterized by irregularity and fragmentation on different scales. Benoit Mandelbrot introduced fractals in the 1970s to describe complex natural patterns that classical geometry could not capture, like coastlines and clouds. Fractals have repeating patterns that are self-similar regardless of the scale of observation and they exhibit similar structures at every level, from the whole to its constituent parts.

    Geometry.

    Its principles are taught to young Fractal was introduced by the mathematician
    students across the world. The Pythagorean Benoit Mandelbrot in the 1970s’ to explain
    theorem. Surface area and volume. Pi. This complexity of nature. He explained that:
    classical, or Euclidean, geometry is perfectly clouds are not spherical, mountains are not
    suited for the world that humans have created. conical, coastlines are not circle and barks
    But if one considers the structures that are are not smooth. If the development of the
    present in nature, that which are beyond the non-linear complex system behaviour was
    realm of smooth human construction, many of represented, it will take a geometrical
    these rules disappear. Clouds are not perfect mathematical form which shape is
    spheres, mountains are not symmetric cones, and geometrically fractal.
    lightning does not travel in a straight line. Nature
    is rough, and until very recently this roughness
    was impossible to measure. The discovery of
    fractal geometry has made it possible to
    mathematically explore the kinds of rough
    irregularities that exist in nature.
    The core of fractal concept is the further layers of
    details that are displayed when the fractal structure is characteristics
    observed closely. The smaller elements of the structure
    have the same properties as the original whole
    structure. Self-similarity, scaling and never-ending
    characterize the fractal structure and fractal concepts. That can be explained as: small parts of an object
    Mandelbrot explained self-similarity as ‘each part is a are similar to larger parts of the object which are
    linear geometric reduction of the whole, with the same sequentially are similar to the whole object. Similar
    reduction ratios in all directions’. The parts of a to self-similarity, scaling is the process of reduction

    parts are. curve by number of iterations.

    Never-ending is one of the fractal structure


    characteristics which is more theoretical than
    practical. In natural fractal structures such as ferns,
    never-ending has to end somewhere, even in
    computer generated fractals, feedback loops have to
    end at a certain time otherwise the computer
    program crashes.

    In Europe, fractals were found in the early 12th
    century buildings. The floor of
    the cathedral of Anagni in Italy built in 1104 is
    adorned with dozens of mosaics
    in a form of a Sierpinski gasket fractal.
