Introduction to Fractals and Chaos:
Mathematics and Meaning
|
| by Crayton W. Bedford |
| Fractals and Chaos is an exploration of discrete dynamical systems, using primarily the concepts of precalculus and the technology of the TI-83. Required mathematical and technological skills are reviewed or developed to give hands-on experience with the ideas of chaos theory and fractal geometry, supported by a set of graded exercises for every 4-6 pages of text. The last chapter, unusual in a math course, is a review of some of the applications of chaos theory in the sciences, humanities and philosophy. |
