Fractals

The Beauty of Fractals

The Beauty of Fractals is a 1986 book by Heinz-Otto Peitgen and which publicises the fields of complex dynamics, chaos theory and the concept of fractals. It is lavishly illustrated and as a mathematics book became an unusual success. The book includes a total of 184 illustrations, including 88 full-colour pictures of Julia sets. Although the format suggests a coffee table book, the discussion of the background of the presented images addresses some sophisticated mathematics which would not be found in popular science books. In 1987 the book won an Award for distinguished technical communication. (Wikipedia).

Delicia Kamins - Philosophy of Fractals - CoM Oct 2020

We know that fractals are nature’s pattern makers. Fractals are in fact everywhere we look: tree bark, snowflakes, mountain ranges, cloud, rivers, seashells, all the way up to the shape of galaxies. Beyond nature, however, human beings are fractal thinkers. We depend on fractal algorithms

The Newton Fractal Explained | Deep Dive Maths

A Newton fractal is obtained by iterating Newton's method to find the roots of a complex function. The iconic picture of this fractal is what I call The Newton Fractal, and is generated from the function f(z)=z^3-1, whose roots are the three cube roots of unity. What is the history of th
