Unveiling the Mandelbrot Set. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, mathematicians working in an area called dynamical systems made use of the ever-advancing computing power to draw computer images of the objects they were working on. What they saw blew their minds: fractal-like structures whose beauty and complexity is only rivalled by Nature itself. At the heart of them lay the Mandelbrot set, which today has achieved fame even outside the field of dynamics.  The Mandelbrot set is a fractal. Fractals are objects that display self-similarity at various scales. Magnifying a fractal reveals small-scale details similar to the large-scale characteristics. Although the Mandelbrot set is self-similar at magnified scales, the small scale details are not identical to the whole. In fact, the Mandelbrot set is infinitely complex. Yet the process of generating it is based on an extremely simple equation involving complex numbers. The Mandelbrot set is an incredible object that equals infinity. It’s really amazing that the simple iterated equation Z = Z^2 + C can produce such beautiful works of mathematical art.

Fractal Geometry – The Geometry of Nature

Self-similarity, the property of exhibiting patterns that repeat on different scales, is evident just about everywhere you look. Objects with this property are known as fractals thanks to the work of mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975.

“Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line… Nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity. The number of distinct scales of length of natural patterns is for all practical purposes infinite. The existence of these patterns challenges us to study these forms that [traditional plane geometry] leaves aside as being ‘formless’.” – Benoît Mandelbrot

Tumbling regular polygons. 

 I started drawing math based pictures in primary school after one of my teachers gave me a book that explained the basics of  ruler and compass constructions. This pattern was one of the examples.

Interestingly not all regular polygons can be constructed with ruler and compass. The smallest that is not possible is the heptagon. For these polygons the book explained how to draw them approximately. Since there are small mistakes in a drawing anyway, the approximation is not visible.  

If you want to know more about constructible polygons this is a good place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_polygon

I love how the triangle looks like its marching.

[mr-risse]

There could / should be a line rotating inside the triangle & a point oscillating inside the line. It’s actually stressing me out they didn’t include that

[szimmetria-airtemmizs]

Yeah, the problem is that the side of the triangle is bigger then the height of it. So the end of rotating line would go outside the triangle and it would look strange.

Stare at the middle. It looks like it is turning, but is it?
