A note on Fractal Geometry

[Juan Cires Martinez]

I would like to say two things about this Chaos/Fractal thread:

1. Chaos Theory and Fractal Geometry, although related, are not the same.
I'd recomend Mandelbrot's "The Fractal Geometry of Nature" as an
introduction.

2. Fractal objects are as ideal as spheres, lines and polygons.  And
they are infinite.  Certain natural objects can be described APROXIMATELY
using concepts from this geometry, like "fractal dimension".

Sorry I don't have much time to elaborate further at this moment.

Saludos, Juan.
