Fractals are one of my several obsessions. It pleases me to share them with you.
Colors, Shapes, Infinity
Benoit Mandelbrot...
coined the term "fractal" in 1975.
Many important spatial patterns of Nature are either irregular or fragmented to such an extreme degree that... classical geometry... is hardly of any help in describing their form. ... I hope to show that it is possible in many cases to remedy this absence of geometric representation by using a family of shapes I propose to call fractals... or fractal sets. [Mandelbrot, "Fractals," 1977]
