A fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity. Roots of mathematical interest in fractals can be traced back to the late 19th Century; however, the term "fractal" was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion.
This is a part of a page on wikipedia which makes me think about the past not just because i think nostalgically about my attitude on fractal theory when i was just 18 but because of the similarity between life and fractals.the cycles which happen one after another and make the whole life of humanbeing are all the same and in other words life is repeated.all! parts of life are all! the same but in different scales!!!
