I. In the text you will find when you click the link below, extract the first two paragraphs and please find all the characteristics of fractals and underline them. Also find the adjectives and circle them. Be careful ! ! ! ** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal ** 2. There is a description there, please identify it and tell me how you found it. What helped you when locating it? ** // I located the description by the list of their features. //
 * 1. There is a definition of fractals there. Please identify it and identify its components.

A fractal often has the following features · It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales. · It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language. · It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically ). · It has a Hausdorff dimension which is greater than its topological dimension (although this requirement is not met by space-filling curve such as the Hilbert curve ). ·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> It has a <span style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: green none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: yellow; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">simple and <span style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: green none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: yellow; text-decoration: none;">recursive definition. <span style="color: #f76b1d; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex (in informal terms). <span style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: green none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: yellow; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, snow flakes, various vegetables (cauliflower and broccoli), and animal coloration patterns. However, not all self-similar objects are fractals— for example, the <span style="background-color: #008000; color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; text-decoration: none;">real line (a straight Euclidean line) is formally self-similar but fails to have other fractal characteristics; for instance, it is regular enough to be described in <span style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: green none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: yellow;">Euclidean terms. **<span style="color: #f76b1d; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Great **



II: Now write a description of any mathematical word or topic. ** In circumferences, all the points in the circle are the same distance of a central point, called center. The constant distance from any point of the circumference is called radius. The circumferences have a line called diameter that passes through the center and its area is equal to pi by radius square. **<span style="color: #f76b1d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Good **
