The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature ...
Unlike traditional geometric shapes, fractals can have infinite detail, appearing the same at any scale. This means that whether you zoom in or out, the pattern remains consistent. However ...
Marcus du Sautoy describes how fractal geometry can be used to describe natural objects, and how it is used in digital animation. Trees use the simple rule of trying to maximise surface area ...
The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...
