In mathematics, the Cantor set is a self-similar set of points lying on a single line segment that has a number of unintuitive properties. It was discovered in 1874 by Henry John Stephen Smith and men
Cantor dust (3D)
Column capital with pattern evocative of the Cantor set, but expressed in binary rather than ternary. Engraving of Île de Philae from Description d'Égypte by Jean-Baptiste Prosper Jollois and Édouard Devilliers, Imprimerie Impériale, Paris, 1809-1828
In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the topological dimension. Many fractals
Cantor set
…not normal in base 3, this would imply that all members of the Cantor set are either rational or transcendental. The Cantor set is the prototype of a fractal. It is self-similar, because it is equal to two copies of itself, if each copy is shrunk by a factor of 3 and translated. More precisely, the Cantor…
Highly magnified area on the boundary of the Mandelbrot set
The Mandelbrot set: its boundary is a fractal curve with Hausdorff dimension 2. (Note that the colored sections of the image are not actually part of the Mandelbrot Set, but rather they are based on how quickly the function that produces it diverges.)
