Explore fractals

The term “fractal” was coined by mathematician Benoit B. Mendelbrot and is derived from the Latin word fractus, meaning fragmented or broken. In mathematics, a fractal is any geometric shape with a “fractional dimension,” which relates to how the shape grows as its scale increases. Fractals form complex patterns that are self-similar—exactly replicating a part of itself—that scale infinitely. They are often employed in digital art using mathematical calculations to create visual representations of fractal objects.
