SummaryIn 1977, a mathematical pattern received its name as Benoit Mandelbrot proclaimed that he "coined [the term] fractal from the Latin adjective fractus. The corresponding Latin verb frangere means to break to create irregular fragments. It is therefore sensible and how appropriate for our needs! - that, in addition to fragmented, fractus should also mean irregular, both meanings being preserved in fragment." Although fractals only became known as fractals in 1977, they have always existed in natural forms. Fractals have been observed in all self-organizing natural forms from ferns and shells, to mountains and shorelines.
