A fractal object is any geometric object that posses the property of self-similarity. Self-similarity is a term attributed to Benoît Mandelbrot, to describe any object that appears roughly the same at any level of magnification. Fractal objects are readily prevalent in nature and can be easily seen by examining the intricate shape of sea shells, snowflakes and lightning bolts.
This application illustrates how Maple can be used to generate the “Snowflake” fractal.
