More about the book
Seventeen articles explore the challenges of using computer-generated fractals in education, art, music, fashion, chess, and medicine. Despite a handy glossary and a first chapter called "Conquering the Math Bogeyman," the collection is definitely geared toward mathemeticians, scientists, and technically minded computer artists and hobbyists. The number of tables, graphs and program codes nearly exceeds the number of poor-resolution black and white fractal images, but anyone willing to wade through the math will find well-explained how-to sections and fascinating non-technical topics, too like Danielle Gaines's fractal-inspired underwear designs.
