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.MathematicsMathematics, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M00009Mathematics.Mathematics, general.510003.85758F13msc70K50mscPeitgen Heinz-Ottoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut28286Jürgens Hartmutauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSaupe Dietmarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808752703321Chaos and fractals337217UNINA
