Caption: Mandelbrot fractal. Computer-generated Mandelbrot fractal. Fractals are patterns that are formed by repeating some simple process on an ever decreasing scale. The Mandelbrot Set, named after the mathematician Benoit B. Mandelbrot (born 1924), is a group of complex numbers plotted using their real and imaginary parts as coordinates. Fractals are used in the study of chaos theory.
