ESPN (blog) | New DVDs on the horizon ESPN (blog) This year alone, it's taken me two months to watch two Netflix DVDs, the first about Fractal Geometry, and the second a documentary on the Red Hot Chili Peppers entitled "Funky Monks." They were both worth watching once I got them into the DVD player ... |
Study shows subway systems develop in remarkably similar ways Phys.Org These results—difficult to interpret in the framework of fractal geometry—confirm and yield a natural explanation in the geometric picture of this core and their branches: the first regime corresponds to a uniform core, while the second regime is ... and more » |

Artists And Chartists Know Beauty When They See It Investor's Business Daily But Pollock's art had symmetry — a physicist once quantified the symmetry with fractal geometry — and so does the best of the double-bottom bases. You don't need to be a physicist or an artistic genius to recognize a sound double-bottom base on a ... |
