In the first two chapters the idea of fractal is introduced, first in nature and then as a geometric object, it even shows how diseases also appear. A first approximation is given using the idea of self-similarity, which refers to a geometric property of a part as the whole.
In the third chapter the idea of dimension is introduced, and the dimension of some classical fractals is calculated, allowing a second approximation to its definition. Chapter 4 is a different way of approaching fractals, using the growth of plants to understand fractal behavior.
In Chapter 5 and 6 the language of functions between complex numbers is introduced, which serves to describe two very important examples of fractals: the Julia Set and the Mandelbrot Set.
We finish the book with a gallery of fractals, so that the reader can enjoy the beauty of such mathematical objects.
