Description

**Here we will read and write descriptions** =Description= A description is a writing form used to create an impression of an object, person, place, event, process, mechanism, etc. You can describe people, objects, animals, plants, or you can also describe how an event happened, how a mechanism operates, etcetera. In a description you find many ** adjectives ** which are the words that will characterize any thing you want to describe. __Example 1:__ In an **equilateral triangle**, all sides are of equal length. An equilateral triangle is also an equiangular polygon, i.e. all its internal angles are equal—namely, 60°; it is a regular polygon. This description was taken from the following web page: [] __Example 2:__ A polygon that is not convex is called **concave**.[|[2]] A concave polygon will always have an interior angle with a measure that is greater than 180 degrees. It is possible to cut a concave polygon into a set of convex polygons This description was taken from the following web page: []  =Assignment= [|__http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal__] 1. There is a definition of fractals there. Please identify it and identify its components. 2. There is a description there, please identify it and tell me how you found it. What helped you when locating it.
 * Great Job **  **4pts [[image:pumpkin.gif]] **
 * I. In the text you will find when you click the link below, extract the first two paragraphs and please find all the characteristics of fractals and underline them. Also find the adjectives and circle them.Be careful ! ! ! **


 * I **** I: Now write a description of any mathematical word or topic. **

A **fractal** is "a rough or fragmented [|geometric shape] that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[|[1]] a property called [|self-similarity]. Roots of mathematical interest on fractals can be traced back to the late 19th Century; however, the term "fractal" was coined by [|Benoît Mandelbrot] in 1975 and was derived from the [|Latin] //[|fractus]// meaning "broken" or "fractured." A mathematical fractal is based on an [|equation] that undergoes [|iteration], a form of [|feedback] based on [|recursion].[|[2]] A fractal often has the following features:[|[3]] Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex (in informal terms). Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, snow flakes, various vegetables (cauliflower and broccoli), and animal coloration patterns. However, not all self-similar objects are fractals—for example, the [|real line] (a straight [|Euclidean] line) is formally self-similar but fails to have other fractal characteristics; for instance, it is regular enough to be described in Euclidean terms.
 * It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales.
 * It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional [|Euclidean geometric] language.
 * It is [|self-similar] (at least approximately or [|stochastically]).
 * It has a [|Hausdorff dimension] which is greater than its [|topological dimension] (although this requirement is not met by [|space-filling curves] such as the [|Hilbert curve]).[|[4]]
 * It has a simple and [|recursive definition].

I. 1 This is the definition I found: A **fractal** is "a rough or fragmented [|geometric shape] that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[|[1]] a property called [|self-similarity]. Termn to be defined: Fractal General class word: Fractal Geometry Characteristics: it has a property called self-similarity which allows it to be split into parts, each of which is a reduced-size copy of the whole.  **Super ** I.2 Description: A fractal often has the following features:[|[3]] I think this charasteristics are a description of fractal because while i read it i did imagine how fractals is, therefore i created a visual impression from this characteristic.

II. Equation: and equation is an equality, formed by two (sometimes more than two) members i__n which one__  **?? **there are variables and coefficients. The variables can be called by X, Y, Z or any letter easy to use and remember. __This__  **these **unknown quantities are acompanied (multiplying) by the coefficients that could be any real number, from the fact of equality what's in the left side of an equation is exactly the same that in the right side wheter visually they're appear too different.  **Super **
