Twigs, corkscrews, bank buildings: A photographer would be hard-pressed to find drabber subject matter. But in Paul Cook’s hands, even these most unremarkable sights assume remarkable optical effects.

Fractals are intricate geometric structures created when patterns (or pieced of patterns) are altered and duplicated at ever-diminishing scales. Even simple shapes can quickly grow complicated when ...

Fractal geometry investigates complex shapes that exhibit self-similarity across multiple scales, while spectral analysis focuses on the study of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of operators, most ...

Fractal geometry offers a rigorous framework for describing irregular and self-similar structures that are ubiquitous across nature and technology. This field has profoundly influenced our ...

A mathematician has developed a new way to uncover simple patterns that might underlie apparently complex systems, such as clouds, cracks in materials or the movement of the stockmarket. The method, ...

Fractals have become a common sight, thanks to computer imagery In 1975, a new word came into use, when a maverick mathematician made an important discovery. So what are fractals? And why are they ...

A graduate of MISIS University confirmed the hypothesis that the onset of an earthquake can be predicted in six months using fractal geometry methods, analyzing the peaks of seismic activity and their ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Benoit Mandelbrot, a well-known mathematician who was largely responsible for developing the field of fractal geometry, has died. He was 85. His wife, Aliette, says he died ...
