Examples for
Fractals
A fractal is an object or quantity that exhibits self-similarity on all scales. Use Wolfram|Alpha to explore a vast collection of fractals and to visualize beautiful chaotic and regular behaviors. Examine named fractals, visualize iteration rules, compute fractal dimension and more.
Line-Replacement Fractals
Compute properties regarding fractals created by repeatedly applying iteration rules on curves.
Draw a fractal based on iterated line replacement:
Nowhere-Differentiable Functions
Ask about continuous functions that are nowhere differentiable or ask for the value at a particular point.
Plot an approximation to a nowhere-differentiable function:
Evaluate a nowhere-differentiable function at a point:
