Class 1: Fractal Demonstrations

The following is a list of Mathematica Demonstrations we will investigate at our first class.
It would help if you were able to download these demonstrations now onto the laptop you plan to bring to class.

Don't worry if you don't have a laptop, at least half of the class will have one and we can share.

Make sure your laptop is charged before coming to class so we don't have to plug it it in. Most laptops can hold a charge for 1.5 hours which is all we will need at most.

Click on the following links and then click on Download Live Version (in orange). Store the Demonstration on your desktop or in a folder marked Class 1.

1. Fun with Koch Snowflakes

2. Sierpenski Sieve

3. Sierpenski Carpet

4. Fractal Tree

5. Pythagoras Tree

6. Fractal Right Triangle

7. Flower Fractals

8. Iterates for the Mandelbrot Set

9. Magnified Views of the Mandelbrot Set

  1. Hi Don - I am enjoying and learning in your class. When I tried to get to class slides, I found when I clicked on "slides," I went to IWork to sign in. However, when I went farther down on the sheet to your blue address, I got to your slides. Hmmm. See you Friday! Judy

  2. The other day I was watching a rerun of a 'White Collar' TV show, and they had found a 'fractal' and were using it to solve a mystery. When I saw the show the first time a few months ago, I had no idea what they were talking about. Who would have known that a fractal would show up on a TV show!!
