While fractal geometry is often used in high-tech science, its patterns are surprisingly common in traditional African designs.

Fractal geometry is not just a chapter of mathematics, but one that helps Everyman to see the same world differently.

— Benoit Mandelbrot

“Moreover, there is no known reason why the geometry of space and time should be described by the particular types of curved geometry defined…

At the earliest drawings of the fractal curve, few clues to the underlying mathematical structure will be seen.

— Louis L'Amour

The existence of these patterns [fractals] challenges us to study forms that Euclid leaves aside as being formless, to investigate the morphology of the…

I have no fault to find with those who teach geometry. That science is the only one which has not produced sects; it is…

I just toured around looking for fractals, and when I found something that had a scaling geometry, I would ask the folks what was…

I conceived and developed a new geometry of nature and implemented its use in a number of diverse fields. It describes many of the…
