Fractals Illustrate the Mathematical Way of Thinking.

Nievergelt, Yves

College Mathematics Journal, v22 n1 p60-63 Jan 1991

Presented are exercises that demonstrate the application of standard concepts in the design of algorithms for plotting certain fractals. The exercises can be used in any course that explains the concepts of bounded or unbounded planar sets and may serve as an application in a course on complex analysis. (KR)
