Fracture : A Fractal Screensaver
Fracture is a screensaver for Mac OS X that can generate a wide variety of fractal images, including the mandelbrot Set, Julia sets, SelfSquared Dragons, and Attraction Basin fractals.
http://www.sticksoftware.com/software/Fracture.html

Extractions: Fracture is a screensaver for OS X that creates a wide variety of fractal images. It can render the Mandelbrot Set, Julia Sets, Self-Squared Dragons, and Attraction Basin fractals generated using Newton's Method, Halley's Method, and two other root-finding algorithms. It can make images using advanced fractal imaging techniques like orbit traps, periodicity analysis, and binary decomposition, and it can use several different parameterizations for even greater image variety. Here's one sample image (visit Stick Software's gallery to see more): It will use multiple processors if you have them, to make its calculations faster, and it will display fractals on multiple monitors if you have them. It can generate a wide variety of color schemes under user control. And it can even antialias its images, for the maximum in image quality! It can be controlled by the user while it is running, so you can find a color scheme you like, skip images you don't like, hold images you do like, and save images you particularly like to disk.

http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Edu/Fractal/Fractal_Home.html

Extractions: The Fractal Microscope is an interactive tool designed by the Education Group at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) for exploring the Mandelbrot set and other fractal patterns. By combining supercomputing and networks with the simple interface of a Macintosh or X-Windows workstation, students and teachers from all grade levels can engage in discovery-based exploration. The program is designed to run in conjunction with NCSA imaging tools such as DataScope and Collage. With this program students can enjoy the art of mathematics as they master the science of mathematics . This focus can help one address a wide variety of topics in the K-12 curriculum including scientific notation, coordinate systems and graphing, number systems, convergence, divergence, and self-similarity. Many people are immediately drawn to the bizarrely beautiful images known as fractals . Extending beyond the typical perception of mathematics as a body of sterile formulas, fractal geometry mixes art with mathematics to demonstrate that equations are more than just a collection of numbers. With fractal geometry we can visually model much of what we witness in nature, the most recognized being coastlines and mountains. Fractals are used to model soil erosion and to analyze seismic patterns as well. But beyond potential applications for describing complex natural patterns, with their visual beauty fractals can help alter students' beliefs that mathematics is dry and inaccessible and may help to motivate mathematical discovery in the classroom.

Benoit Mandelbrot, Fractals And Astronomy (Part 1)
Benoit mandelbrot, fractals and Astronomy (Part 1). by Dave Snyder Printed in Reflections November, 1998. fractals are mathematical
http://www.umich.edu/~lowbrows/reflections/1998/dsnyder.3.html

Extractions: Printed in Reflections: November, 1998. Fractals are mathematical objects with strange properties. They have been known for many years, but had been relegated to an obscure corner of mathematics. In the beginning fractals were curiosities, very few people thought they had any real applications (Ludwig Boltzmann and Jean Perrin were among the exceptions). All that changed when Benoit Mandelbrot began his career. Mandelbrot discovered that complex phenomenon in a variety of sciences, including astronomy, could be understood in terms of fractals. Fractal geometry along with several other sciences were motivated by examining human senses. For example, the sense of sight led to the study of electromagnetic radiation and the sense of hearing led to the study of acoustics. However until recently, there had never been any science of roughness. Starting in the late 1800's and into the early 1900's, a number of strange mathematical objects were developed by Georg Cantor, Helge von Koch, David Hilbert, Giuseppe Peano, Carl Ludwig Sierpinski and others. They were called "monster curves" as if they were unruly beasts who needed to be locked up before they did some real damage (the word fractal would come later). Unlike other objects like circles and sine curves which are smooth, these objects are rough and this roughness persists even as the object is magnified. As the object is magnified more and more, the same amount of roughness is present. They are created using a simple process known as aggregate replacement. By repeating this process indefinitely images of these objects form, showing that a complex object can result from a simple procedure.

Fractal Gallery: What Is A Fractal?
mandelbrot derived the term fractal from the Latin verb frangere, meaning to break or fragment. Basically, a fractal is any pattern
http://www.glyphs.com/art/fractals/what_is.html

Extractions: Images and text by Alan Beck The word "fractal" was coined less than twenty years ago by one of history's most creative mathematicians, Benoit Mandelbrot, whose seminal work, The Fractal Geometry of Nature , first introduced and explained concepts underlying this new vision. Although prior mathematical thinkers like Cantor, Hausdorff, Julia, Koch, Peano, Poincare, Richardson, Sierpinski, Weierstrass and others had attained isolated insights of fractal understanding, such ideas were largely ignored until Mandelbrot's genius forged them at a single blow into a gorgeously coherent and fruitful discipline. Lamp (63 k / jpg) Mandelbrot derived the term "fractal" from the Latin verb frangere , meaning to break or fragment. Basically, a fractal is any pattern that reveals greater complexity as it is enlarged. Thus, fractals graphically portray the notion of "worlds within worlds" which has obsessed Western culture from its tenth-century beginnings. Traditional Euclidean patterns appear simpler as they are magnified; as you home in on one area, the shape looks more and more like a straight line. In the language of calculus such curves are differentiable. The trajectory of an artillery shell is a classic example. But fractals, like dendritic branches of lightning or bumps of broccoli, are not differentiable: the closer you come, the more detail you see. Infinity is implicit and invisible in the computations of calculus but explicit and graphically manifest in fractals.

Extractions: Enter search term Fractals: Mandelbrot and Julia Sets by Wernher Krutein S even years ago my friend Mathemetecian/Computer Wiz/Space-Cadet-at-large, Mark Burstein, told me about this bold new branch of mathematics called Fractals. From that moment on I went completly crazy on the visual exploration of the wondrous multi-dimensional world of these Fractals. The Mandelbrot and Julia subsets have some of the most rewarding moments of discovery of the many landscapes and environments that these mathematical functions can create. I believe that we have only just begun to understand and apply fractals into our everday living. What is a Fractal? A fractal is a kind of repeating structure displaying properties of self similarity. This means taht you can explore a Fractal shape itno virtualy any depth of magnification and you will come across many similar shapes of the original. Fractals were discovered by Benoit B. Mandelbrot who decided to name this bold new area of mathematics "Fractals". He chose that word from the Latin word fractus, which means "to break". Some of the most typical fractals are: flowers water , clouds, trees, waves , smoke, flames lightning leaves galaxies , etc.

http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/3825/Period-Area-16.html

Extractions: The area of the Mandelbrot Set is one of those useless measures which, since it exists, some feel compelled to determine. If this were too easy, we would quickly move on to other things. In my chapter in Fractal Horizons: The Future Use of Fractals, (Cliff Pickover) , editor (St. Martin's Press, 1996) I reported the lower bound is 1.50585063. This article reports the area evaluation of 430809 components of the Mandelbrot Set yielding an improved lower bound of 1.506303622. In Table 1, the areas of components and clusters are summarized for components with periods 1 through 16. The second column shows the total area of all components with the period shown in column one. The third column shows the total area in clusters whose base 'cardioid' has the period in first column. The last column shows the total number of components used to evaluate the cluster areas Table 1. Area of components and clusters by period Period Area in Components Components

The Mandelbrot Set
Above is the famous mandelbrot set, discovered by Benoit mandelbrot (the discoverer of fractals). But many people created fractals, long before mandelbrot.
http://www.jimloy.com/fractals/mandel.htm

Extractions: Go to my home page Above is the famous Mandelbrot set, discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot (the discoverer of fractals). The set is a fractal. This is an image made by Fractint , an amazing program that is free on the Internet. The Mandelbrot set is the central dark part of the picture. The colored part is drawn to show the great detail of the black part. The different colors are produced by the program, to show how many iterations (repetitions) were needed to decide that this particular point was not in the set. So, just what is the Mandelbrot set? It is a graph, of the simple function z=z +c (or z=z^2+c), where c is the point in question, on the complex plane. The origin is in the right center of the image. z starts at zero. And the formula gives the value of the next z. For most points on the plane, z quickly blows up, goes toward infinity. Near the Mandelbrot set, z blows up more slowly. In the Mandelbrot set, z never blows up. To graph the Mandelbrot set, the program selects a point c and a z=0, and then it solves for z over and over again. If z gets large, the program assumes that the point is not in the set, colors the point, and goes on to the next point. If z stays small for a long time, the program assumes that the point is in the set, colors the point black, and goes on to the next point. The picture above shows approximately where the origin (0,0) is. The above picture uses different colors (to emphasize different features), and is the upper right portion of the set, above and slightly to the left of the origin.
History Of Mandelbrot And Julia Fractals
history of the mandelbrot and julia fractals. Fractal is a term coined by Benoit mandelbrot (1924) to describe an object which has partial dimension.
http://www.icd.com/tsd/fractals/beginner1.htm

Extractions: "Fractal" is a term coined by Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-) to describe an object which has partial dimension. For example, a point is a zero-dimensional object, a line is a one-dimensional object, and a plane is a two-dimensional object. But what about a line with a kink in it? Or a line that has an infinite number of kinks in it? These are mathematical constructs which don't fit into normal (Euclidean) geometry very well, and for a long time mathematicians considered things like these as "monsters" to be avoided - lines of thought that defied rational explanation in known terms. Within the past few decades, "fractal math" has exploded, and now there are "known terms" for describing objects which heretofore were indescribable or inexplicable. There are an infinite variety of fractals and types; those that I focus on in my gallery are Mandelbrot and Julia fractals. Gaston Julia (1893-1978) was a French mathematician whose work (published in 1918) inspired Mandelbrot in 1977 (the second time Mandelbrot looked at Julia's work). Mandelbrot used computers to explore Julia's work, and discovered (quite by accident) the most famous fractal of all, which now bears his name: the Mandelbrot set.

http://www.icd.com/tsd/fractals/beginner3.htm

Extractions: As I mentioned, Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets are related in a very special way. There are several types of Julia sets; the broadest distinction, though, is whether there is an "inside" to it or not. Remember, for any given Julia set, all sequences of z run through the iterative equation will fall into one of three classes: Julia sets are strictly defined as class (3) points, which just sort of drift around to other class (3) points and don't really go towards zero or infinity. Some Julia sets just consist of a bunch of disconnected points - any z you pick that is part of the set will move around to a different, but totally disconnected point. These are "dust" sets:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benoit_Mandelbrot

Extractions: Benoît B. Mandelbrot (born November 20 ) is a Polish -born French mathematician , discoverer and leading proponent of fractal geometry Born in Warsaw, Poland , he has lived in France for much of his life. Mandelbrot was born into a family with a strong academic tradition - his mother was a doctor and his uncle, Szolem Mandelbrojt , was a famous Parisian mathematician. His father, however, made his living buying and selling clothes. His family left Poland for Paris in the 1930s. There, Mandelbrot was introduced to mathematics by his two uncles. He studied at École Polytechnique Educated in France , he developed the mathematics of Gaston Julia , and began the (now common) graphing of equations on a computer. Mandelbrot originated what is now known as fractal geometry and the fractal called the Mandelbrot set is named after him. In 1975, Mandelbrot published Les objets fractals, forme, hasard et dimension ("The fractal objects, form, randomness and dimension"). His work on fractals as a mathematician at IBM earned him an Emeritus Fellowship at the T.J. Watson Research Laboratories.
Fractal - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
fractals such as the mandelbrot set are more loosely selfsimilar they contain small copies of the entire fractal in distorted and degenerate forms.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

Extractions: The term fractal is now used as a scientific concept , as well as a strictly mathematical idea. In the first sense, it means a geometric shape that is self-similar on all scales. In other words, no matter how much you magnify a fractal, it always looks the same (or at least similar). Table of contents 1 History 2 Categories of fractals 3 Definitions 4 Examples ... edit Objects that we now call fractals were discovered and explored long before we had a word for them. In 1872 Karl Weierstrass found an example of a function with the non-intuitive property that it is everyhere continuous but nowhere differentiable - the graph of this function would now be called a fractal. In 1904 Helge von Koch , dissatisfied with Weierstrass's very abtract and analytic definition, gave a more geometric definition of a similar function, which is now called the Koch snowflake . The idea of self-similar curves was taken further by Paul Pierre Lévy who, in his 1938 paper Plane or Space Curves and Surfaces Consisting of Parts Similar to the Whole , described two fractal curves, the Lévy C curve and the Lévy dragon curve Georg Cantor gave examples of subsets of the real line with unusual properties - these Cantor sets are also now recognised as fractals. In an attempt to understand objects such as Cantor sets, mathematicians such as
