While on the topic of fractals, here's another great use for them: drawing trend lines! Trend lines are a very important part of technical analysis, in fact, they're probably the one thing you need to ...

PITTSBURGH — A proposed method for authenticating artist Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings does not hold up under scrutiny, a new analysis finds. What’s more, the analysis uncovered a new way to ...

Frax, a new iOS app, leverages the computational oomph in your new iPhone to make dizzying detailed mathematical art. Frax, to its credit, leans right into the “ooh, neat colors!” aspect of fractal ...

This program will draw fractals with an Iterated Function System or by the Chaos Game. Either method requires that the transformations defining the IFS be given. An IFS is composed of a number of ...

As a mathematical concept, the fractal can be intimidating. Benoit Mandelbrot, the Polish-born mathematician who coined the term, defined a fractal as “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can ...

Fractals are geometric objects that are self-similar, i.e., you can break them apart into smaller pieces which are exact (but smaller) replicas of the original object. These smaller pieces in turn, ...
