Abstract

The study of basic fractal geometry can help build students' enthusiasm for learning early in their undergraduate careers.

As a result, fractals can be an effective vehicle for introducing and reinforcing multiple modes of learning, which at many institutions is one of the main goals of general first-year undergraduate education. This article describes how fractals are used in one institution's "Freshman Seminar" program to help accomplish these goals.
