Product Description

Product Description
This book is about chaos, fractals and complex dynamics, and is addressed to all people who have some familiarity with computers and enjoy using them. The mathematics has been kept simple, with few formulae, yet the reader is introduced to and can learn about an area of current scientific research which was scarcely possible before the availability of computers. The introduction is achieved through the extensive use of computer graphics. The book is divided into two main parts: in the first the most interesting problems are described, with, in each case, a solution in the form of a computer program. A large number of exercises enable the reader to undertake his or her own experimental work. In the second part, example programs are given for specific machines and operating systems; details refer to MS-DOC and Turbo-Pascal, UNIX 4.2 BSD with Berkley Pascal and C. Other implementations of the graphics routines are given for Apple Macintosh, Apple IIE and IIGS and Atari ST.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete tour of newton, Julia and MSet, 14 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamical Systems and Fractals: Computer Graphics Experiments with Pascal (Paperback)
Much more code based than other fractal books, theres a few thousand lines of PASCAL in here to do everything from landscapes to julia etc. A little dated in its colouring algorithms (all greyscale or b&w). Makes a great supplement to one of the fractal bibles (Mandelbrot, Barnsley or Peitgen). I enjoyed the graftal and l-system sections, this book definitely stands out from the rest (not just because it has a bright orange cover :) ).
