Infinity and Fractals…
Fractals are self-similar objects whose overall geometric form and structure repeat at various scales they provide us with a “glimpse” into the wonderful way in which nature and mathematics meet. Fractals often arise when investigating numerical solutions of differential (and other equations). … go to XAOS

The Koch Snowflake and Infinite Sequences…
What is a Koch Snowflake? How “long” is a section of the Koch Snowflake between x = 0 and x = 1? Anything else odd about this? What “dimension” is it? Can you differentiate it?
