Klein studied infinitely repeated reflections and was led to forms with multiple coexisting symmetries. For a century, these images barely existed outside the imagination of mathematicians. However, in the 1980s, the authors embarked on the first computer exploration of Klein's vision, and in doing so found many further extraordinary images. Join the authors on the path from basic mathematical ideas to the simple algorithms that create the delicate fractal filigrees, most of which have never appeared in print before. Beginners can follow the step-by-step instructions for writing programs that generate the images. Others can see how the images relate to ideas at the forefront of research. 606 $aFractals 615 0$aFractals. 676 $a514/.742 700 $aMumford$b David$f1937-$042095 702 $aSeries$b Caroline 702 $aWright$b David James 702 $aGonick$b Larry 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449939603321 996 $aIndra's pearls$91903602 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04418oam 2200757I 450 001 9910778813903321 005 20230725054435.0 010 $a0-429-21722-6 010 $a1-136-47494-3 010 $a1-280-12131-9 010 $a9786613525178 010 $a0-415-89146-9 010 $a0-203-13061-8 024 7 $a10.1201/b11419 035 $a(CKB)2550000000079727 035 $a(EBL)840379 035 $a(OCoLC)774956305 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000581373 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11393002 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000581373 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10536969 035 $a(PQKB)11518508 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC840379 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4009676 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL840379 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10524994 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL352517 035 $a(OCoLC)778434876 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4009676 035 $a(OCoLC)935244284 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000079727 100 $a20180706d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGeology of North Africa /$fE.
