The Fractory: An Interactive Tool for Creating and Exploring Fractals

1996
Fractals are chaos and order, math and beauty. This is a well-designed multi-level exploration of a simple yet infinitely complex world. View the impressive designs and try your hand at creating your own. Learn why scientists--in fields from astronomy to economics--feel that fractals can help predict seemingly random occurrences. And those really into the math can discover who Julia and Mandelbrot are, and how complex numbers are used to plot a fractal.
