Exploring the geometry of nature : computer modeling of chaos, fractals, cellular automata, and neural networks /

The science of chaos attracts the attention of researchers in many disciplines. The idea: by following simple principles of randomness and disorder, patterns emerge. Here, users on their own PC's can construct mathematical models duplicating processes found in nature.
