Abstract:
This World Wide Web (WWW) site presents online tutorials with information about the mathematics behind fractals and interactive activities for exploring the nature of fractals. Two tutorials, one for older students and one appropriate for younger students, offer step-by-step explorations of the terms and processes related to the formation of fractals along with interactive applications for exploring fractal formation. Another section of this site, Fractal Explorer, contains Applets for investigating the structure of the Mandlebrot Set, Julia Set, and the Sierpinski Triangle. The Fractal Workshop allows the visitor to create fractals and post the results online. Also found is an image gallery of simple fractals and realistic images generated with fractals to model things in nature. A Message Board is offered as a place to have questions about fractals answered. Abstracted 12/00. (Author/JRS) |
