Four Variations on a Fractal Theme
Mark McCartney
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v55 n9 p2374-2388 2024
Four variations of the Koch curve are presented. In each case, the similarity dimension, area bounded by the fractal and its initiator, and volume of revolution about the initiator are calculated. A range of classroom exercises are proved to allow students to investigate the fractals further.
