Why do fractals raise an issue and a smirk?
I'm going to reward your honest question with an honest answer. Fractals
are precisely the kind of mathematics that would be cited by somebody who
knew nothing about mathematics but wanted to use an impressive-sounding
mathematical term.
Here's my favorite fractal:
z<-z^2+c, where z and c are complex. I wanted to write a computer
program to draw fractals, so I taught myself C. That turned out to be
painfully slow (I think I was still using a 486 at the time) so I taught
myself assembly. Years later when I was teaching assembly language to CS
undergrads (without ever having gotten around to taking a assembly class
myself) I was still using fractal generation as the sample program.
It's pretty simple stuff (although my students may have disagreed).
If you had wanted to show off a modicum of mathematical knowledge, you
should have picked "non-Riemannian hypersquares". That's a topic that
only ideal mathematicians (not necessarily include God) understand.
