Eye-Catching Math is a series about beautiful mathematical images. Read more about it here. A fractal is a pattern that contains smaller and smaller versions of itself.

On Saturday, I wrote about Marvel’s lack of female and nonwhite leads and their hesitancy to include any in their future slate of films, especially in the wake of Sony’s and DC’s announcements of future titles.
