Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they follow relatively simple mathematical rules ...

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...

The math Newberry and his student Jingyi Gao used is based on fractals. These are patterns created by repeating the same smaller pattern within itself. Snowflakes are an example of this ...

A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

“Mathemalchemy” has been described as “a mathematics fever dream turned artistic playground for all math lovers (and haters, too).” ...

This hidden math in some abstract paintings may even ... Trees in nature follow a “self-similar” branching pattern called a fractal, in which the same structures repeat at smaller and smaller ...

"We tried to derive as much as we could, mathematically, about why does it have the fractal-like appearance ... means they're going to use any of the math that we spent so much time deriving ...
