Fractal Math Describes How Realistic Trees Look In Art
"Fractals are just figures that repeat themselves," Gao said. “If you look at a tree, its branches are branching. Then the child branches repeat the figure of the parent branch.” These ...

Scientists uncover hidden maths depicted in da Vinci and Mondrian artwork
Trees in nature follow a “self-similar” branching pattern called a fractal, in which the same structures repeat at smaller and smaller scales from the trunk to the branch tip. In the new study ...

Art and science illuminate the same subtle proportions in tree branches
The precise calibration of branch diameter leads to a hallmark of fractal shapes called scale invariance. A scale invariance is a property that holds true regardless of the size of an object or p ...
