Our Mission : FractalFoundation.org Our Mission: We use the beauty of fractals to inspire interest in Science, Math and Art. Our vision is for a world of wonder and curiosity, a culture of scientific inquiry, an appreciation of the interconnections of natural systems and an understanding of their essential nonlinearity. We see a world where everyone is mathematically literate and has a grasp of how math is a powerful tool to help turn their visions into reality. We are out to change the culture. We have enough sports heroes and movie stars. What we need are some science heroes, and some math stars.

One of the most interesting aspects of these organisms is that they possess a skeleton composed of amorphous silica. The Mandelbulb: first 'true' 3D image of famous fractal - physics-math - 18 November 2009 See: our gallery of how the Mandelbrot set burst out of two dimensions It may look like a piece of virtuoso knitting, but the makers of an image they call the Mandelbulb (see right) claim it is most accurate three-dimensional representation to date of the most famous fractal equation: the Mandelbrot set. Fractal figures are generated by an "iterative" procedure: you apply an equation to a number, apply the same equation to the result and repeat that process over and over again. When the results are translated into a geometric shape, they can produce striking "self-similar" images, forms that contain the same shapes at different scales; for instance, some look uncannily like a snowflake.
