Nouvelle géométrie introduite en 1975 par B. Mandelbrot, qui étudie des propriétés caractérisant les objets irréguliers (monstres mathématiques) et les phénomènes désordonnés à dimensions intermédiaires entre les dimensions entières. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9om%C3%A9trie%20fractale

La géométrie fractale permet d'analyser le chaos sous ses formes statistique et déterministe. Elle permet aussi de mesurer la capacité d'un ensemble de points à remplir une ligne sans jamais l'atteindre, la capacité d'une ligne à remplir l'espace entre ligne et plan sans atteindre le plan, ou la capacité d'un objet à remplir un volume sans jamais être vraiment ce volume. Ses applications permettent d'associer une structure à l'apparente confusion des phénomènes aléatoires, depuis les particules des aérogels, jusqu'aux amas galactiques. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9om%C3%A9trie%20fractale
