Synopses & Reviews
This comprehensive how-to book is written for anyone wanting to investigate the new field of fractals. If you want hands-on experience in reproducing the developments that have changed our thinking about the physical sciences, and in creating pictures that have both beauty and an underlying mathematical meaning, then
Programming Fractals in C is for you.
Provided are discussions of well-known fractal curves such as the von Koch snowflake, the Gosper curve, the Hilbert curve, and the Mandelbrot set; a detailed description of how to create displays of the Julia set; and the more than 100 black-and-white fractals and 32 full-color fractals illustrated throughout the book.
