    Can someone please give me a layman's definition of fractal geometry. Something simple enough for a nine year old to understand. If you have any images that would be appreciated too.

    Thanks :smile:

    A fractal is a self-repeating or self-similar pattern. See also: Recursion

    It's significance is is due in large part to the concept of infinity and the infinitesimal.

    I'd like to add, that there are (in the sense of mathematical existence) fractals which aren't self-similar. But constructing those graphicly should be tricky. :)

    You made me curious. For me a fractal is a set with a noninteger dimension (this view seems to be rather uncommon, as I had to find out). Those sets can be quite complex and mostly not even imaginable.

    But it seems like you thought of something much easier than I have, so I'd be happy if you shared your example. :)

    [MENTION=5052]joz[/MENTION], How would the grime on the face of your avatar look if it were reduced to fractals? How about the cells that make up your face, teeth, and eyes, etc. Have an image for that? :becky:
