While working on a second college degree in the 1980s, Don Bristow came across a book called “The Fractal Geometry of Nature.” The book’s purpose was to show that fractals — geometric shapes with ...
Fractal geometry investigates complex shapes that exhibit self-similarity across multiple scales, while spectral analysis focuses on the study of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of operators, most ...
Frax, a new iOS app, leverages the computational oomph in your new iPhone to make dizzying detailed mathematical art. Frax, to its credit, leans right into the “ooh, neat colors!” aspect of fractal ...
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 ...
Have you ever stared at a cauliflower before preparing it and got lost in its stunningly beautiful pattern? Probably not, if you are in your right mind, but I reassure you it's worth a try. What ...
The term “mathematical art” usually conjures up images of M.C. Escher’s endless staircases, Möbius-strip ants, and mind-boggling tilings. Or it might remind one of the intimate intertwining of ...
Even the smallest taste of a fractal is guaranteed to blow one’s mind, wrapping up psychedelic satisfaction and hardcore mathematics in a bite-sized (er, infinite-sized?) package. Tom Beddard, a laser ...
