First, the author introduces the notion of the fractal dimension of a subset of the reals and calculates the fractal dimensions of the set \(A=\{ 1/n \mid n=1,2,\dots \}\cup \{ 0\}\) and the standard Cantor set. Then he introduces this notion for subsets of the Euclidean plane and calculates the fractal dimensions of a square, Sierpiński's carpet, and an attractor of a system of two differential equations. In addition, the author derives an estimation for the fractal dimension of an attractor of the Lorenz differential equations. The paper is based on a lecture given by the author for secondary school teachers in the framework of the ``International Soros Science Educational Program'' and is aimed at presenting contemporary developments in mathematics on an elementary level understandable for secondary school teachers and pupils.
