Fractals and Transformations.

Peer reviewed

Bannon, Thomas J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1991

Discussed are several different transformations based on the generation of fractals including self-similar designs, the chaos game, the koch curve, and the Sierpinski Triangle. Three computer programs which illustrate these concepts are provided. (CW)

Chaos and Fractals.

Peer reviewed

Barton, Ray – Mathematics Teacher, 1990

Presented is an educational game called "The Chaos Game" which produces complicated fractal images. Two basic computer programs are included. The production of fractal images by the Sierpinski gasket and the Chaos Game programs is discussed. (CW)
