About this topic
Fractals explore infinite detail from simple rules: repeated processes, self-similarity, roughness and patterns that look structured at many scales.
The aim here is to make students zoom, predict and notice: change the rule, watch the pattern grow, then ask why the structure survives.
Explore this through mandelbrot and julia sets from complex iteration, fractal dimension and measuring roughness, l-systems, recursive growth and plant-like structures.
