Captures some of the mathematical excitement and visual wonder of fractals when they were the Latest New Thing.
This book is written for everyone who, even without much knowledge of technical mathematics, wants to know the details of chaos theory and fractal geometry. This is not a textbook in the usual sense of the word, nor is it written in a "popular scientific" style. Rather, it has been our desire to give the reader a broad view of the underlying notions behind fractals, chaos and dynamics. In addition, we have wanted to show how fractals and chaos relate to each other and to many other aspects show more of mathematics as well as to natural phenomena. A third motif in the book is the inherent visual and imaginative beauty in the structures and shapes of fractals and chaos. show less
Remember the 80's?: MTV, John Hughes, and z(n+1) = z(n)*z(n) + 1.
