The beauty of chaos
Article Abstract:
Autodesk Inc's $59.95 James Gleick's Chaos: the Software is a software package based on James Gleick's 1987 book 'Chaos: Making a New Science.' The theory of chaos is based on complex mathematics, and while the software and accompanying 200-page documentation does include some of the mathematics it is also fascinating for the layperson. The software package comprises six programs: the Mandelbrot sets; magnets and pendulum; strange attractors; the chaos game; fractal forgeries, and toy universes. The software runs on IBM and compatible microcomputers with 640Kbytes of RAM and either an EGA or VGA graphics card. The software renders in full color and the results are often stunningly beautiful.
