Title: Help me with a fractal
Post by: kester on June 15, 2009, 11:38:26 AM
Hello everybody,

I´m new to your forum and I need your help. I have a school project where we have to make and explain a fractal. However I don´t fully understand the fractal yet, could one of you guys give me an explained fractal :angel1:.

Thank you

P.S. I´m in a bit of a hurry, I have to hand in the project at Wednesday 12.00 A.M.

Hi

The most famous fractal is the Mandelbrot set. Try for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set or search Google :)

i think you really mean "Deterministic Chaos" - "the fractal" does not exist, fractal is a property introduced by benoit mandelbrot for objects whose hausdorff dimension is not an integer number ;)

For one or two fractals that are relatively simple to create and explain:

Hello everybody,

I´m new to your forum and I need your help.

Greetings, and Welcome to this particular Forum !!!      :)

Though I doubt you will probably be posting anymore here, unless fractals are something you will be getting into on a regular basis, just wanted to at least give you a cordial reception.
