Fascinating Fractals
Presenter - Professor Tony Roberts - University of Southern Queensland

For 2,000 years we have viewed the world in terms of points, lines and planes. Fractals immeasurably enhance this world-view by describing much around us that is rough and fragmented such as rivers, plants, architecture, music, and even the human body. Find out that a Lebesque-Osgood monster lives inside all of us.
