Andrei:

Well, reading other people's response, I'm not sure why you say you
cannot discuss fractals without logarthms. It sure sounds like
investigations of fractals can serve the purpose of intellectual
development of students. I wonder what you meant by "discuss." I wonder
if you were thinking of "discussion" at much more sophisticated levels.
