SUMMARY
To effectively study fractals, one should focus on complex analysis, topology, and dynamical systems following calculus. Complex analysis provides the necessary framework for understanding the behavior of fractals in the complex plane. Topology offers insights into the properties of space that are crucial for fractal geometry, while dynamical systems help in analyzing the iterative processes that generate fractals.
