Back to the Fat Days Fractal Index (Also see the Add-A-Link Page) Starting Points Spanky Fractal Database Huge archive of fractal-related programs, documents, and images. Includes a well-annotated, categorized collection of links to fractal information stored at other sites. Superb. FractInt Home Page at Spanky FractInt is a freeware fractal generator. It's fast, extensive, versatile, and free. In short, FractInt is the fractal program to get. You can download DOS, Windows, XWindows, and Motif versions of FractInt (sorry Mac users), including the source code. Also consider buying Fractal Creations, 2nd ed. by Tim Wegner and Bert Tyler, two of the programmers of FractInt. Fractal Creations is a user's manual for FractInt that comes with a copy of FractInt v. 18.21 and a CD-ROM of over 1800 fractal images. sci.fractals FAQ Latest version of the Frequently Asked Questions file for the sci.fractals newsgroup and frac-l listserv. sci.fractals Usenet newsgroup devoted to objects of non-integral dimension Papers & Other Reading Material Fractals and Scale Introduction to scale, dimension, and random iteration algorithms as they relate to fractals. Exploring Chaos and Fractals Online condensed version of Exploring Chaos and Fractals, an electronic textbook designed to be used by individuals or groups in secondary or tertiary settings. Very readable introduction to fractals with some nice images. Fractal Geometry Short introduction to fractals from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois. Software IBM Compatible (DOS and Windows) YABMP DOS program to produce mathematically accurate three-color images of the Mandelbrot set and its associated Julia sets. Allows the user to zoom, read the true coordinates of a point, and compute the period corresponding to a point. Requires an i486 DX CPU or better.
