Fractals are SMART: Science, Math and Art!

Fractal Foundation in India

I had the great pleasure and privilege of being invited to share our work with fractals in India in February 2011. The Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) in Goa hosted two exciting conferences, Quark2011 and the prestigious TEDxBITSGoa. I presented at both conferences, each of which were attended by over 1000 people.
Additionally, I gave a hands-on fractal-making workshop to about 75 students, where we explored making fractals with algebra using the free XaoS program, and we also made fractal triangles by hand to include in our Fractal Trianglethon project.

As I continue traveling around the world, I am struck by how everyone, young or old, American, European, Middle Eastern, Australian or Asian… everyone loves fractals!

A warm welcome to our many new Indian fractal fans!
