An introduction to mathematical visualization including many fractals and using the J programming language. Designed for classroom use or individual learning. J is freely available and no prior experience with J is required. Experiments are hands on explorations that readers can duplicate. Topics include fractals, time series, iterated function systems, chaos and symmetry, cellular automata, complex dynamics, image processing, ray tracing and Open GL.

Witness the Forever Wild is a guide to hiking in the Adirondacks designed to facilitate modern leave no trace hiking in this precious wilderness. The book includes descriptions of 56 hiking routes and more than 250 color nature photographs to enhance these hikes. Start coordinates are given for each hike, aiding the use GPS and/or internet direction software for locating trailheads. Distance, time par, and cumulative ascent data is given for each route. The book contains 32 color topographic maps showing 26 primary routes drawn by overlaying GPS data from the route onto the maps. Distance and...

Fractals, Visualization and J is a text that uses fractals as a motivational goal for the study of visualization. The language J is introduced as needed for the topics at hand. Included are chapters: Introduction to J and Graphics, Plots, Verbs and First Fractals, Time Series and Fractals, Iterated function systems and Raster Fractals, Color, Contours and Animations, Complex Dynamics, Cellular Automata.
