Abstract

A fractal is a shape that is self-similar through infinitely many iterations. There are many instances of self-similarity in nature, but fractals can be computer-generated and even modeled after nature. One of the most notable examples of a computergenerated fractal is the Mandelbrot set, which is defined as the set of those z for which the orbit of fc(z) = z2 + c is bounded. This set is an instance of how a simple iteration can be extremely intricate.
