A mathematical tour -- Iteration -- Iteration using the computer -- Graphical analysis -- The quadratic family -- Iteration in the complex plane -- The Julia set: basin boundaries -- The Julia set: other algorithms -- The Mandelbrot set -- Geometric iteration: fractals -- Chaos |
| Summary |
Introduces the mathematical topics of chaos, fractals, and dynamics using a combination of hands-on computer experimentation and precalculas mathmetics. A series of experiments produce fascinating computer graphics images of Julia sets, the Mandelbrot set, and fractals. The basic ideas of dynamics--chaos, iteration, and stability--are illustrated via computer projects |
