The fourteen chapters of this book cover the central ideas and concepts of chaos and fractals as well as many related topics including: the Mandelbrot set, Julia sets, cellular automata, L-systems, percolation and strange attractors.
For students with a background in elementary algebra, this book provides a vivid introduction to the key phenomena and ideas of chaos and fractals, including the butterfly effect, strange attractors, fractal dimensions, Julia Sets and the ...
Turn up the contrast dial on the monitor all the way and turn down the brightness dial considerably. ... Moreover, the tripod should be equipped with a head that allows the camera to be turned about its long axis, while it faces the ...
The complexity exhibited by simple formulas correspond to behavior that even mathematicians could not fully appreciate before computers could display the results. Arthur C. Clarke in The Ghost from the Grand Banks notes: In principle ...
