Very cool art that's made from math!

Back in the 1960's, a French mathematician named Benoit Mandelbrot started thinking about simple pretty simple: How long is the coast of Britain? Sure, it seems easy enough... But, think about how you'd really measure it... Would you fly over the coast in an airplane and measure how far you flew? Or would you take a ruler (or meter stick) and get down on your hands and knees and crawl around the edge? It would be different!

In 1975, he made up the word "fractal" because he thought these figures would look fractured or broken up. It wasn't until he had a computer that he could SEE a picture of what he'd been thinking about!

To view the fractal in all its glory, just click on it!
