Abstract
Since the term was first coined in 1977, fractals seem to have pervaded every branch of science. Attempts to explain what fractals are and what they are being used for. Are they a fad or are they really useful? Considers factors including quantitative measurement, image compression and computer graphics. Concludes that the future will see an increase in the use of fractal graphics.
