Dynamical Systems and Fractals - Computer Graphics Experiments With Pascal

Klappentext This book is about chaos! fractals and complex dynamics. Zusammenfassung This 1989 book is about chaos! fractals and complex dynamics! and is addressed to all people who have some familiarity with computers and enjoy using them. The mathematics has been kept simple! with few formulae! yet the reader is introduced to and can learn about an area of current scientific research which was scarcely possible before the availability of computers.
