This program will draw fractals with an Iterated Function System or by the Chaos Game. Either method requires that the transformations defining the IFS be given. An IFS is composed of a number of ...

Fractals are geometric objects that are self-similar, i.e., you can break them apart into smaller pieces which are exact (but smaller) replicas of the original object. These smaller pieces in turn, ...

While on the topic of fractals, here's another great use for them: drawing trend lines! Trend lines are a very important part of technical analysis, in fact, they're probably the one thing you need to ...

Fractals have become a common sight, thanks to computer imagery In 1975, a new word came into use, when a maverick mathematician made an important discovery. So what are fractals? And why are they ...

The real joy of conferences is meeting with people who understand so much more than you do. Eric Akkerman presented ideas at the Physics of Quantum Electronics conference that definitely falls into ...

ONLY rarely does the dry theorising of mathematicians strike a chord with the public. Most people have heard of Einstein and his famous equation, E=mc 2, or of Isaac Newton and his apochryphal falling ...
