Fractals: The Koch Snowflake

The video tutorial explores the concept of fractals, both in nature and mathematics. It begins by explaining how fractals are shapes that can be fragmented and repeated, with examples like ferns. The tutorial then delves into mathematical fractals, highlighting the work of Helger von Koch and the creation of the Koch snowflake. This fractal is formed by repeatedly applying a rule to an equilateral triangle, resulting in a shape with a finite area but an infinite perimeter. The video concludes by comparing natural fractals to mathematical ones, noting that natural fractals are limited by nature.
