This site was created by Odelia Lourenco, a fellow student in the Master's Program in Technology at Florida gulf Coast University. Odelia worked with me on Ocenaic Adventures doing the Highschool Section while I did the Middle School section and Claire Watson did the Elementary site. This is a terrific site. If you think half of math was perfected by Euclid and Newton , and the other half can't be comprehended without a Ph.D., then meet the fractal world. Fractals start simple enough, but then they get very complicated.
Fractals make the shapes seen in nature.
If you look for triangles, squares or rectangles in nature, you'll see some. Fractals show up in everything from cumulus clouds to leaves on trees. Mathematics is boring and dead. Nothing new happens in Math, it was all discovered too long ago. As recently as the 70's the discovery of fractal geometry by Benoit Mandelbrot was a turning point in mathematics.
