A fractal is most easily described as organized chaos. One great example of a fractal is simply looking around a forest or wooded area. All of the trees grow their own directions, everything seems to be random but as a whole they form a pat...

Fractal geometry, though I'd like to say is very difficult and you have to be as smart as me to understand it, is actually quite simple. It has to do with three major things that my Algebra 2 class already studied this year: a) functions, b) graphing, and c) imaginary numbers.
