| Description: |
An introduction to the history of fractal research; how fractals work; fractals in nature; man-made fractals; and fractals and modern image processing. Laplante provides instructions and code for writing fractal display programs. A disk of demo programs showing fractal images is provided. |
| Synopsis: |
This guide is designed to make fractals easy for computer enthusiasts to understand and enjoy, while giving them the practical know-how to create fractal images on their PCs. While Laplante uses simple formulas to demonstrate fractal theory, he aims to make fractals fun and exciting by using everyday examples to describe them. Along with his descriptions, he provides photographs and computer-generated graphics. This book introduces: the history of fractal research; how fractals work; fractals in nature - clouds, rocks, neurons, snowflakes; man-made fractals - turbulent jet flow, economic systems, chaotic behaviour; and fractals and modern image processing. Laplante provides instructions and ready-to-use code for writing fractal display programs. He even supplies a disk of demo programs full of fractal images - complete with movement and brilliant colours. |
