Fractals Day - November 20
Happy Fractals Day! Today is a day do celebrate fractals and the math ( measure theory , chaos theory ) underlying them. Fractals are fairly weird. If you zoom in on a fractal pattern far enough, you'll see a self-similar fractal pattern. And the length of any 2 points on a fractal pattern "curve" is, due to infinite smaller patterns, is infinite. Though they're an abstract notion, they do have some relationship to the natural and technological worlds . We celebrate Fractals Day on November 20 because on this date in 1924 Benoit Mandelbrot , a fractal pioneer and the first person to use a computer to create fractal geometric images, was born.
