Examines chaos/fractal theory in a practical way. Chaos is not just a way of generating computer graphics, or a mathematical curiosity. It has relevance to the real world and the easiest way to explore and visualize it is on the computer screen. Chapters on predictability, L Systems and fractal forests, fractal landscapes, IFS and the collage theorem, artifical life and an overview of complexity.
