Fractal Mathematics

Come explore the world through new eyes with an exploration of fractals in the world around us!

The world around us is fascinating! This 5-part course investigates a beautiful mathematical subject that can be found in art, music and nature and has applications in engineering, design and more.

Fractals are self-repeating patterns that are both beautiful and functional in a variety of different ways.

Come join us for this investigation into fractals and make and explore them for yourself!

Ever since I was a kid I had a love of math, not because I was good or gifted at it, but because it taught me to see the world through a different set of eyes.

I have worked in the field of education with a focus on math and science for the past 13 years and I am very excited to be bringing the fascinating world of mathematics to you here!

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
This is a self-paced course that has an open start and end date. That means you can start whenever you like and end whenever you're ready.
How long do I have access to the course?
This course is our first course and as such we hope to make it available for as long as possible. However, as it is our first course you may notice changes to it over the next few months as we test out what works and what needs a little bit of love. Our intention though is to leave this course, and your access to it, available as long as possible.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
If you're unhappy with the course or any aspects of it, there is a link at the end of the course that takes you to a anonymous survey where you can tell us your suggestions to make it better. There are also moderated comments available throughout the course so you can tell us what you think as you go too.
Who is this course aimed at?
Our intention is to reach those who are fearful of or who have a dislike of mathematics, especially children in elementary school and their parents. For right now though we are really interested in getting as many opinions as we can from as many different types of people we can to find out where the greatest need is and if our courses can address that properly.
Is the course really free?
Yes! Until at least August 31, 2017 we are offering this course for free. The reason for this is we are looking for feedback on our course to see if what we are offering is helpful to those looking for math inspirations.
