Fractalize That! A Visual Essay on Statistical Geometry brings a
new class of geometric fractals to a wider audience of
mathematicians and scientists. It describes a recently discovered
random fractal space-filling algorithm. Connections with
tessellations and known fractals such as Sierpinski are developed.
And, the mathematical development is illustrated by a large number
of colorful images that will charm the readers.The algorithm claims
to be universal in scope, in that it can fill any spatial region
with smaller and smaller fill regions of any shape. The filling is
complete in the limit of an infinite number of fill regions. This
book presents a descriptive development of the subject using the
traditional shapes of geometry such as discs, squares, and
triangles. It contains a detailed mathematical treatment of all
that is currently known about the algorithm, as well as a chapter
on software implementation of the algorithm.The mathematician will
find a wealth of interesting conjectures supported by numerical
computation. Physicists are offered a model looking for an
application. The patterns generated are often quite interesting as
abstract art. Readers can also create these computer-generated art
with the advice and examples provided.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the
development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.
