A New Look
at the World
Fractal geometry
Many natural phenomena exhibit irregular and even chaotic
shapes that cannot be analysed using traditional geometry: the
sponginess of the clouds, the branches of trees, the zig-zags of
lightning bolts. We can seek insights into these apparently random
elements of nature in the revolutionary mathematical concept of
fractals, a new way of looking at the world based on the maxim,
the whole contains the part and the part the whole.
