Link to Fractals, hunting the hidden dimension documentary
Documentary Description
Determined to understand
the repeating patterns he was finding in nature, French mathematician
Benoit Mandelbrot used an early form of computer imagery to produce his
own versions, coining the recurring shapes fractals. This installment of
the PBS series "Nova" examines the rules of these self-similar patterns
and explores the ways these fascinating geometric configurations can be
applied in the fields of science, medicine and the arts.
