The Computational Beauty of Nature

Computer Explorations of Fractals, Chaos, Complex Systems, and Adaptation

All of the images below were produced with the software from the book. To keep the size and bandwidth requirements of this web page at a reasonable size, the images (including the enlarged ones) are relatively crude. That is to say, the software can do much better. To compensate for this, I've added some color to images that would normally be black-and-white. Also, the Mandelbrot and Julia Set images have a color-maps that were produced by The Gimp.
