By using fractal math to calculate how the branches of trees are depicted in art, researchers can put a number on what makes for a realistic tree.

"Intersections: Math, Art, Truth, Humanity" is on display through April 25 at Mercer Island Community and Event Center, 8236 SE 24th Street, Mercer Island. KING 5's Evening celebrates the Northwest.

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...

Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they contain fractals, following relatively simple mathematical rules also found in branching patterns in nature.
