"Alt.Fractals:
A visual guide to
fractal geometry and design
" provides a wealth of visual reference material
for mathematicians, designers, artists, and people who simply
think that fractals are cool.
With over two hundred heavily-illustrated pages, Alt.Fractals starts
with "standard" shapes like the Sierpinksi Triangle and
Pyramid, Menger Sponge and Mandelbrot Set, and builds to more advanced
subjects such as trigonometric fractals, scale-limited fractals and
a discussions and maps of the Julia Set in four dimensions.
Alt.Fractals places an emphasis on graphical rather than textual
explanation,
and illustrates many "alternative" fractal variations
that rarely appear in print (and some that may not have been previously
published).
Illustrations: a mix of line art, formula plots,
vector graphics and 3D raytraced models. B&W and
greyscale.
