How can snubification (or alternation) be written in Conway notation? Existent human being ( talk) 09:37, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
I first need to state that I'm a bit of a math layperson who enjoys recreational math a bit, and also watches a lot of math YouTube videos, such as 3blue1brown, Standup Maths, Mathologer, Numberphile, etc. I had recently rewatched Grant Sanderson's video on fractals, and that led me to try to do a little bit of Wikipedia research on fractals, where I came across two articles Hausdorff dimension and Fractal dimension which appear to be discussing basically the exact same concept; in fact one used to be a redirect to the other (way back in Wikipedia's infancy, from like 2003-2006 or so) when they were split and have developed separately since then. Can someone give a lay-person's explanation for the difference between those concepts? Is one a subset of the other? Are they two terms for the same thing? How are they related? Thanks! -- Jayron 32 18:14, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
