Science and Mathematics
"If others would but reflect on mathematical truths as deeply and as continuously as I have, they would make my discoveries."
-- Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855)

- A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that
can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately)
a reduced-size copy of the whole. Fractals are generally self-similar
and independent of scale. These often beautiful and unusual shapes can
be described as mathematical structures. This site contains many examples
of fractals -- particularly interesting is the
Fractal Movie Archive of Fractal animations in a variety of formats.
