Mathworld is great for all your mathematical needs:\nhttp://mathworld.wolfram.com/Fractal.html\n\nPlanet Math is also pretty good:\nhttp://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/Fractal.html

A fractal is an object or quantity that displays self-similarity, in a somewhat technical sense, on all scales. The object need not exhibit exactly the same structure at all scales, but the same "type" of structures must appear on all scales. A plot of the quantity on a log-log graph versus scale then gives a straight line, whose slope is said to be the fractal dimension. The prototypical example for a fractal is the length of a coastline measured with different length rulers. The shorter the ruler, the longer the length measured, a paradox known as the coastline paradox. \n\nThe term Mandelbrot set is used to refer both to a general class of fractal sets and to a particular instance of such a set. In general, a Mandelbrot set marks the set of points in the complex plane such that the corresponding Julia set is connected and not computable. \n\n"The" Mandelbrot set is the set obtained from the quadratic recurrence equation \n\nZn+1 = (Zn)^2 + C\n\nWhere Z0 = C in the complex plane for all C which this recurrence does not tend toward infinity.

What you want is a math forum...\n\nNot a how hot is my avatar forum... Good luck with that!

Never heard of it.  Have you tried Mathworld or Wikipedia?

Mathworld.com.  Or, if you type the subject your interested in followed by "Forum" in google, you'll find some good help that way.  Fore xample, "calculus forum".  Also, you can ask me whatever you want.

clouds\nsea coastlines \nriver's outline \nsurface of the moon (& all the craters)\nthe surface of a brain\nthe bronchia of the lungs (pulmonary membrane on branching scales)\nvascular system of the body or plant\ncertain trees/plants' limb structures.\nare all examples of natural fractal objects.\n\nAs far as i can determine pine cones don't have scaling similarity and thus are not good candidates for a fractal project.  (scaling similarity is not necessary for a fractal but it helps for display purposes!  there are many nonscaling and also random fractal sets.  The Apollonian gasket in the former and certain random walks in the latter.  Many people are under this misapprehension)\n\nA leaf and all its veins might be a good one.  You must have leaves. Fractal generated leaves:\nhttp://mudandmuck.com/str2/FractalLeaves.jpg\nThe smaller you look at a fractal, the more you notice that the very little parts look very similar to the big part(s).  That is one of the characteristics of a self-similar fractal.\n\nJust for edification.  While many fractals have a non-integral dimension, not all of them do (as has been claimed elsewhere). The definition of a fractal is a set for which the Hausdorff Besicovitch dimension strictly exceeds its topological dimension. (This probably does not help you much if at all.  It needed to be said however as others have misinterpreted what exactly a fractal is.)
