Fractals are visual depictions of mathematical equations—the same equations, in fact, that describe natural phenomena such as coastlines, plant shapes, and weather patterns. A computer program assigns a color to each point in the image based on the answer to a chosen equation, which then results in abstract fractal shapes. Artist Alice Kelley manipulated dozens of variable to create the fascinating organic designs featured in this twelve-month calendar. Each is accompanied by a quotation by prominent mathematicians and scientists. Features include: 12" x 12" wall calendar (12" x 24" open) Wrap-around cover design eliminates need for plastic packaging Spans January–December 2025 High-quality printing on premium paper stock Official major world holidays and observances Moon phases, based on Universal Time A year of mesmerizing, vibrant fractal artwork and quotations from science luminaries throughout history Perfect gift for math and computer science enthusiasts WE PLANT TREES to offset our carbon footprint and resource usage — more than ONE MILLION and growing!
