What is a Fractal? - The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Fractals

What is a Fractal? Introduction to Fractals: A Fractal is a type of mathematical shape that are infinitely complex. In essence, a Fractal is a pattern that repeats forever, and every part of the Fractal, regardless of how zoomed in, or zoomed out you are, it looks very similar to the whole
