Seminar on Chaos and Fractals: Some Links

• Fractint is a free program for viewing and generating fractals. It is written for DOS, and Unix ports exist.
• Xaos is a free Unix program for viewing the Mandelbröt set and certain other escape time fractals, as well as the corresponding Julia sets. Using the buttons on your mouse, you can zoom smoothly (or not so smoothly, depending on the speed of your machine) into each set. Type 'H' for help, and 'Q' to quit.
• Visit the JAVA Gallery of Interactive On-Line Geometry at the University of Minnesota Geometry Center. For an interactive demonstration of graphical analysis, enable Java on your browser and click where it says "1-D iteration". Or generate fractals by clicking where it says "IFSoft". Or play the Chaos Game by clicking on "Leap Fractal". Or whatever.
• Visit the Dynamical Systems and Technology Project for more Java applets and more information.
