Frax, to its credit, leans right into the “ooh, neat colors!” aspect of fractal math. The twist is that the formidable processing horsepower in current iPhones and iPads allows Frax to display and ...

While on the topic of fractals, here's another great use for them: drawing trend lines! Trend lines are a very important part of technical analysis, in fact, they're probably the one thing you need to ...

This program will draw fractals with an Iterated Function System or by the Chaos Game. Either method requires that the transformations defining the IFS be given. An IFS is composed of a number of ...

As a mathematical concept, the fractal can be intimidating. Benoit Mandelbrot, the Polish-born mathematician who coined the term, defined a fractal as “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can ...

Students investigate fractals, learn how fractals can be used to determine the length of a coastline, and explore the expression of mathematical principles in art. state some of the characteristics of ...

Richard Taylor receives funding from The Australian Research Council, The Research Council for Science Advancement, and The WM Keck Foundation. Humans are visual creatures. Objects we call “beautiful” ...

PITTSBURGH — A proposed method for authenticating artist Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings does not hold up under scrutiny, a new analysis finds. What’s more, the analysis uncovered a new way to ...

Fractal geometry is a field of math born in the 1970s and mainly developed by Benoit Mandelbrot. If you’ve already heard of fractals, you’ve probably seen the picture above. It’s called the Mandelbrot ...

Fractals are geometric objects that are self-similar, i.e., you can break them apart into smaller pieces which are exact (but smaller) replicas of the original object. These smaller pieces in turn, ...
