Simply put, fractals are images drawn using mathematical equations.  Fractals were first fully described and defined in 1975 by Dr. Benoit Mandelbrot. 

 

"Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos."   (from fractalfoundation.org/resources/what-are-fractals/)
