Fractals are fascinating geometric shapes that exhibit self-similarity at different scales.

They are infinitely complex patterns that are created by repeating a simple process over and over again.

In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales.

The term fractal was coined by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975, although the concept and examples of fractal-like shapes have been known for centuries.

Benoit Mandelbrot was a Polish-born French-American mathematician and polymath with broad interests in the practical sciences, especially regarding what he labeled as “the art of roughness” of physical phenomena and “the uncontrolled element in life.

Fractals are complex patterns created by repeating mathematical equations.
