Fractal geometry is a branch of mathematics developed in the late 1970&#8217;s and 1980&#8217;s based on shapes being self-similar at different levels of magnification. The iconic Mandelbrot Set is an example of this. Self-similarity means that no matter how much you zoom into view a shape the same pattern re-appears so that it is virtually impossible to know at which level you are looking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/20121121-102951.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/20121121-102951.jpg\" alt=\"20121121-102951.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 20th is the birthdate of the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot, who was a Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Yale University in the US, and is famous for first introducing the term Fractal into Mathematics.
