INTRODUCTION

-They are usually found in plants, trees, ice and sometimes in animals. We can also find fractals in big places seen from a satellite like in deltas or in estuaries. Two formations of fractals which are amazing are the ones that occur in the lightnings and in the clouds.

Fractals in nature

The use of the fractal geometry of nature allow for example. Emitted calculation of oxygen and carbon dioxide absorbed by any size building, by calculating the values for the one tree. The introduction of the average circumference of the trees in the forest and their number of simple formula shall bring forth very important for the safety of the ecological balance, the desired result.

Fractals in nature

Fractals are everywhere. When we see thing, we don't even know that it is fractal. Fractals are also fruits or vegetables. For example, cauliflower, sunflower or pineapple are fractals. Leaves and trees could be them. And not only leaves can be fractals but also pine-cone. They are also small like snowflake or snail's shell. Shapes on animals' bodies repeat. And it makes them fractals. For example, peacock's tail or shapes on snakes' bodies are fractals.

Curiosities

-We usually use the term fractals to name something which repeats itself, but in fact a fractal is a repetition of something which never ends. Also fractals are self-similar and they follow a recursive algorithm.

-They are related with the Fibonacci number.

-Jason Padgett, a man who was attacked by offenders and who received hard wounds in his head acquired the ability to draw mathematical formulas through fractals.

-The name “Fractal” comes to “Fractus”, which means in latin “Fractured”.

-The most quaint article of fractals is “How Long Is the Coast of Britain?” published in Science in 1967 by the mathematical Benoit Mandelbrot, the man who discovered them.
