| He showed how fractals can occur in many different places in both mathematics and elsewhere in nature. |
| Strange attractors have detailed structure on all scales of magnification and were one of the early fractals to be studied. |
| He noted that the body is full of fractals, self-similar repeating patterns at different scales, just as nature is full of fractals. |
| Of course, no class on maths and the visual arts would be complete without fractals. |
| All of these elements are combined into seemingly aleatory compositions that, like fractals, operate on several scales at once. |
| Some of the complexity has been captured in modern pictures of fractals, many of which are created by iterating functions of this kind. |
