  2. Fractals Everywhere Mandelbrot Set • What is a FRACTAL? • An image or curve which looks the same as you zoom in and out • What are some examples? • In software • On the internet • With paper,pencil, scissors • What are FRACTALS good for? • Scientific modelling: plant growth, viruses, erosion, … • Storage and bandwidth: send the menu not the meal • Art: movie forests, crowds, ….

  3. Self-Similarity Everywhere From BlaisePascal (1623-1662) to Sierpinski (1888-1969), Julia, Fatou and Benoit Mandelbrot (1924 - ) Truly modern mathematics in nature, art and applications ‘cut and fold, cut and fold’ DOWNLOAD THIS PRESENTATION AT http://carma.newcastle.edu.au/outreach/
