Mandelbrot is the most famous fractal n has been referred to as the most complex object in mathematics. It is described with this equation: Z=Z*Z+c. Of the two images that RyanJ posted, the one at the right is the Mandelbrot Snowman Fractal.

    Fractals in nature: coastlines, clouds, rivers, mountains, lighting, seashells, trees, flowers....
