Description

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! NO SINGLE-USE PLASTIC — We have eliminated single-use shrink wrap to reduce plastic pollution. SUSTAINABLY SOURCED — Our paper is sourced from a combination of recycled materials and wood harvested from socially and environmentally sustainable forests and is Forest Stewardship Council® Certified.

Author Biography:

Alice Kelley discovered fractals in 1995 and began collecting other people’s fractal images. She was excited by their abstract beauty and the fact that such gorgeous pictures were created by math alone. Since fractals are actually computer versions of natural fractal phenomena like coastlines, plant shapes, and weather patterns, they seemed to resonate with her because they do not appear to be artificial. Kelley began making fractals herself a year later and found that she was able to manipulate and color fractal images in an intuitive manner. “Each fractal starts out as chaos, and I find the pattern in it, and that pleases me,” she said. “Perhaps it’s a metaphor. So much of life and the universe is chaos, and I can take a tiny part of it and make beauty.”
