Abstract

This work is an introduction to fractal geometry. During the development of this project the student will contact a new geometry, different from the Euclidean learned in the undergraduate, where it is possible for the appearance of objects with fractional dimensions, for example. Once familiar with the theme it uses software where to get the fractals studied and learned that she can confront the theory with the visual result.(AU)
