POPSHunting The Hidden Dimension of Fractals Mysteriously beautiful fractals are shaking up the world of mathematics and deepening our understanding of nature. You may not know it, but fractals, like the air you breathe, are all around you. Their irregular, repeating shapes are found in cloud formations and tree limbs, in stalks of broccoli and craggy mountain ranges, even in the rhythm of the human heart. In this film, we takes viewers on a fascinating quest with a group of maverick mathematicians determined to decipher the rules that govern fractal geometry.

POPSBeautiful Fractal-Like Graphics Made by Tatiana Plakhova About ten years ago I have heard about fractal geometry and fractals. Since then, I have gained my interests about this beautiful manifestation of mathematics. Tatiana Plahkova is an artist who created some computer graphics made on similar principles lik

Lesson: Abide by the authority of those antecedent studies that delineate the true understanding of 'factuality' that serve as a guide towards correct thinking. "Egypt provides us with the exceptional case of a highly sophisticated civilization which flourished for many centuries without making a single contribution to the development of the exact sciences (Neugebauer 1975, 559)" EGYPTIAN UNIT FRACTIONS, Ilhan M. Izmirli, Iizmirl2@gmu.edu, p. 8: The author appears to be unwilling to accept the above assessment: "It may be fair to say that the mathematics of Pythagoras, Eudoxus, Plato, and Euclid had its origins in the temples of the Nile valley. Indeed, some authors (Ritter 1989; 2000) defend the view that the Egyptian mathematics was a highly developed one." Unfortunately, the author must submit (according to custom) and accept: "However, it must be noted that a leading authority of Egyptian mathematics, Otto Neugebauer wrote" QED: Know what to believe, and do n

POPSShakespearean Insult Kit. You, too, can learn the craft of crafty and creative affrontery to your fellow humans. From some of the comments I've seen in response to various clips, I think a little Shakespearean influence would loan some sorely needed class, wit and even humor to the conversation. Enjoy! And lighten up a little...

POPSArthur Clarke - Fractals - The Colors Of Infinity Arthur C. Clarke presents this unusual documentary on the mathematical discovery of the Mandelbrot Set (M-Set) in the visually spectacular world of fractal geometry. This show relates the science of the M-Set to nature in a way that seems to identify the hand of God in the design of the universe itself. Dr. Mandelbrot in 1980 discovered the infinitely complex geometrical shape called the Mandelbrot Set using a very simple equation with computers and graphics.
