Fractal Geometry
Fractal geometry is the study of complex shapes with
the property of self-similarity, known as fractals. The term fractal was coined
in 1975 by the mathematician, Benoit Mandelbrot (b. 1924), to describe shapes
which are detailed at all scales. This new system of geometry has had a
significant impact on such diverse fields as the stock market, physical
chemistry, physiology, and fluid mechanics; fractals can describe irregularly
shaped objects or spatially nonuniform phenomena that cannot be described by
Euclidean geometry. See
