Spiral Fractal

By Murray Bourne, 13 Nov 2004

Fractal Spiral

Hey - I love these things! Here's one called "Spiral Fractal".

Is this just a 'nerd' thing or does anyone else find them attractive?

Fractals are built on specific iterations of complex numbers. You can see some mathematical background on the concept here: Fractals, in the Complex Numbers chapter of IntMath.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
