FRACTALS1
Looking into fashion:
from fractals to tailoring
What are Fractals?
 Fractal definition from MathWorld
– A fractal is a geometrical object or quantity that
displays self-similarity, in a somewhat technical
sense, on all scales.
– Fractals don’t need to exhibit exactly the same
structure at all scales, but the same "type" of
structures can appear on all scales.

Koch snowflake
Given an equilateral triangle, we divide each side into three equal
parts, we eliminate the central part and on it we build an equilateral
triangle.
Self-Similarity Property of Fractal
 Self similarity across scales
– As one zooms in or out the geometry/image has a
similar (sometimes exact) appearance
– Types of self-similarity
 Exact self similarity
 Approximate self similarity
 Statistical self similarity
4
Exact Self-Similarity
Koch snowflake
5
Exact Self-Similarity
6
Approximate Self-Similarity
 Structures that are recognizably similar but not
exactly
– More common type of
self-similarity
– Example: Mandelbrot set
ITEPC 06 - Workshop
on Fractal Creation7
Statistical Self-Similarity
 Irregularity is the same on the average
– Example: coastline

Task (in small group)
Build a powerpoint where you describe:
1.What a fractal is
2.A geometrical example
3. Five examples of fractals in the world around us
Which are the most important properties of a fractal?
A fractal has the following
features:
1. It has a fine structure at small
scales.
2. It is too irregular to be easily
described in traditional
Euclidean geometric language.
3. It is self-similar (at least
approximately)
4. It has a Hausdorff dimension
which is greater than its
topological dimension
5. It has a simple and recursive
definition.
The term "fractal" was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot
1975 and is derived from the Latin fractus meaning
"broken" or "fractured."
