Fractal is generally a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole, a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin  fractus meaning “broken” or “fractured.”A fractal often has the following features:

  It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales.

   It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language.

  It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically).

   It has a Hausdorff dimension which is greater than its topological dimension (although this requirement is not met by space-filling curves such as the Hilbert curve).

   It has a simple and recursive definition.

A fractal is geometric shape that can be subdivided into parts, which is a reduced-size copy of the shape. The word fractal is latin. 

Natural objects include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, and snow flakes, are natural fractals.Trees and ferns are fractal in nature and can be modeled on a computer by using a recursive algorithm. This recursive nature is obvious in these examples — a branch from a tree or a frond from a fern is a miniature replica of the whole: not identical, but similar in nature.

trig not fini will be up soon

Teacher: What is 2k + k?
Student: 3000!

 Q: What do you get if you divide the cirucmference of a jack-o-lantern by its diameter?
A: Pumpkin Pi!

 Q: Why do you rarely find mathematicians spending time at the beach?
A: Because they have sine and cosine to get a tan and don’t need the sun!

Q: What does the zero say to the the eight?
A: Nice belt!

There shall be more soon… hopefully a bit better than this!

This is a good website because it has good basic information on gcse sujects you need help with. The maths section includes algebra, data handling, number, shape, space and measures.
