Fractals are never-ending intricate mathematical patterns. Katie Steckles shows the beauty of fractals, exploring these intriguing structures and explaining why she finds them so fascinating. From constructing simple fractal shapes, to her worldwide MegaMenger project with stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, Katie demonstrates why fractals captured her mathematical imagination and why she finds magnificence in their infinity.
The Newstead Memorial Christmas Lectures are held annually and honour our former President and Treasurer, Professor Peter Newstead, and his huge contributions to the Liverpool Mathematical Society.
