| Fractal geometry produces some of the most stunning images ever generated by computer. Some are unbelievably realistic. Is this the mathematics which underlies Nature and her processes? The mathematics of iteration is fascinating in its own right. This unit requires you to work autonomously, using free software from the Internet to explore this new field of mathematics. It will extend even the most advanced mathematics student. Any mathematical theory, such as basic complex number theory, which is beyond year 9 level, is included with the unit. |
