Nature is beautiful. Math is a description of nature and therefore beautiful. Fractals are the most beautiful of them all.

A mathematical function draws beautiful Buda statuette, resting in the lotus position.





I stumbled across the Buddhabrot when looking at fractals. It is amazing! The Budabrot is a distribution of probabilities outside of the Mandelbrot fractal. The Mandelbrot fractal describes the function z=z2+c. So amazing a Buda would be drawn by a mathematical algorithm!
The Mandelbrot fractal by itself is so intriguing. I can see how someone could spend a lifetime studying it.
