The same factors that motivated the writing of our first volume of strategic activities on fractals continued to encourage the assembly of additional activities for this second volume. Fractals provide a setting wherein students can enjoy hands-on experiences that involve important mathematical content connected to a wide range of physical and social phenomena. The striking graphic images, unexpected geometric properties, and fascinating numerical processes offer unparalleled opportunity for enthusiastic student inquiry. Students sense the vigor present in the growing and highly integrative...

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, cellular automata, L-systems, percolation and strange attractors. This new edition has been thoroughly revised throughout. The appendices of the original edition were taken out since more recent publications cover this material in more depth. Instead of the focussed computer programs in BASIC, the authors provide 10 interactive JAVA-applets for this second edition.

Die Realitiit ist vielleicht das reinste Chaos. Georg Christoph Lichtenberg 1953 erkannte ich, daj3 die gerade Linie zum Untergang der Menschheitfiihrt. Aber die gerade Linie ist zur absoluten Tyrannei geworden. Die gerade Linie ist der Fluch unserer Zivilisation. Heute erleben wir den Triumph der rationalen Technik, und wiihrenddessen befinden wir uns gleichzeitig vor dem Nichts. Friedensreich Hundertwasser Dieses Buch ist weder ein typisches Mathematikbuch noch ein iibliches popularwis senschaftliches Buch. Vielmehr war beabsichtigt, eine Art Lesebuch vorzulegen, das es auch Laien erlaubt,...
