1 Fractals

5 What is a FRACTAL? A fractal is a geometric construction that is
self-similar at different scales. More clearly, a fractal shape will look almost, or even exactly, the same no matter what size it is viewed at.

6 The Sierpinski Triangle is a fractal
-a geometric figure formed by continuing a process and repeating it over and over again. The Sierpinski triangle is a fractal described in 1915 by Waclaw Sierpinski. It is a self-similar structure that occurs at different levels of iterations (the repetition of a process).
