The Beauty of Fractals
Images of Complex Dynamical Systems
Heinz-Otto Peitgen, P.H. Richter
Résumé
Now approaching its tenth year, this hugely successful
book presents an unusual attempt to publicise the field of
Complex Dynamics. The text was originally conceived as a
supplemented catalogue to the exhibition "Frontiers of
Chaos", seen in Europe and the United States, and describes
the context and meaning of these fascinating images. A
total of 184 illustrations - including 88 full-colour
pictures of Julia sets - are suggestive of a coffee-table
book.
However, the invited contributions which round off the book
lend the text the required formality. Benoit Mandelbrot
gives a very personal account, in his idiosyncratic
self-centred style, of his discovery of the fractals named
after him and Adrien Douady explains the solved and
unsolved problems relating to this amusingly complex
set.
This book contains 184 figures, 88 in colour.
