Study Notes
Fractal Geometry
- Self-similarity is the term used to describe the replication of similar patterns at increasingly smaller scales in fractals.
- Fractal geometry belongs to the branch of mathematics known as geometry.
Fractal Characteristics
- A geometric shape that exhibits replication that is exactly the same at every scale is called a self-similar shape.
- Fractals differ from finite geometric figures in their scaling, which is infinite and continuous, whereas finite geometric figures have a limited scale.
Fractal Dimension
- The dimension of a fractal exceeding its topological dimension is described as fractal dimensionality.
