About this book
For almost 15 years chaos and fractals have been riding a wave that
has enveloped many areas of mathematics and the natural sciences in
its power, creativity and expanse. Traveling far beyond the
traditional bounds of mathematics and science to the distant shores of
popular culture, this wave captures the attention and enthusiasm of a
worldwide audience.
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, Cellulair Automata, L-
systems, Percolation and Strange Attractors. Each chapter is closed
by a "Program of the Chapter" which provides computer code for a
central experiment. Two appendices complement the book. The first,
by Yuval Fisher, discusses the details and ideas of fractal images and
compression; the second, by Carl J.G. Evertsz and Benoit Mandelbrot,
introduces the foundations and implications of multifractals.
