How to Identify Fractals

A detailed tutorial on fractals. Step by step tutorial including several examples and a helpful visual example of fractals for reference.

A fractal is a geometric shape that can easily be split into parts. Each part is really just a small version of the whole. Fractals are often very rough or fractured looking shapes, which is how they got their name. The common features of a fractal is that it has a fine structure at small scales, it is an irregular shape, it is self-similar, and it has a recursive definition as well as a simple one. One of the most famous and well-known fractals is the Mandelbrot set.
