A fractal is a geometric shape, that is considered as infinite and possesses the unique characteristic of "self-similarity" meaning the particular shape or image will still stay the same, no matter the scale of sight. They are also seen in art and nature around us

Benoit Mandelbrot was a Polish mathematician known for his enlightening concepts on the "fractal geometry" and his contribution to mathematics and art as a whole, which gave him the title "Father of Fractals" (see image on the left).
