Fractals From Real & Complex Numbers
Fractals are real and complex sets of points or natural phenomena with infinite complexity and approximate self similarity at any scale. Their repeating shapes and patterns could be found in cloud formations and tree limbs, in stalks of broccoli and mountain ranges, even in our lungs and hearts’ rhythms.
Fractals were considered beyond the boundaries of mathematical understanding until the last century in which mathematicians had started mapping this uncharted territory. Their fascinating explorations of fractals are deepening our understanding of nature and stimulating new ways of scientific, medical, and artistic innovations, stretching from the ecology of the rain forest to fashion design and artificial intelligence.
In this interactive LUMS Math Circle, we will explore the fascinating world of fractal geometry and learn how mathematicians decipher its governing structures and rules by real and complex numbers.
