Billy Carson's Fractal Holographic Universe is not just a book; it is a gateway to a deeper understanding of the universe and our place within it. With its rapid rise in popularity and widespread ...
Benoit Mandelbrot, who died last week at 85, was to math what Carl Sagan was to astrophysics. He wasn’t just a researcher; he popularized scientific thought. And he’s best known for bringing fractal ...
Don Bristow, IT Director at Bethesda Health Clinlic, talks about his art in front of section of the piece "Genesis" on Thursday at the clinic in Tyler. Bristow uses mathematical formula called ...
Frax, a new iOS app, leverages the computational oomph in your new iPhone to make dizzying detailed mathematical art. Frax, to its credit, leans right into the “ooh, neat colors!” aspect of fractal ...
The term “mathematical art” usually conjures up images of M.C. Escher’s endless staircases, Möbius-strip ants, and mind-boggling tilings. Or it might remind one of the intimate intertwining of ...
In 1975, a new word came into use, when a maverick mathematician made an important discovery. So what are fractals? And why are they important? During the 1980s, people became familiar with fractals ...
Fractal geometry is a field of math born in the 1970s and mainly developed by Benoit Mandelbrot. If you’ve already heard of fractals, you’ve probably seen the picture above. It’s called the Mandelbrot ...
Researchers have found a fractal pattern underlying everyday math. In the process, they’ve discovered a way to calculate partition numbers, a challenge that’s stymied mathematicians for centuries.
