Sierpinski Gasket: This fractal is constructed by starting with an triangle having all sides of equal length. In the middle of this triangle, a smaller triangle is cut out, leaving three other triangles at the corners of the original triangle. This process can be repeated over and over, without end. The result is a mathematically elegant figure that can be expressed very simply in computer code.
