By three of the biggest names in fractals. Like Part 1, the second volume of this textbook is complemented by strategic classroom activities and algorithms in BASIC. Part 2 addresses the dynamic aspects of complexity: the signs of chaos; the transition of order into chaos; strange attractors; Julia and Mandelbrot sets; cellular automata; and L-systems.
