Download or read book The Science of Fractal Images written by Heinz-Otto Peitgen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on notes for the course Fractals:lntroduction, Basics and Perspectives given by MichaelF. Barnsley, RobertL. Devaney, Heinz-Otto Peit gen, Dietmar Saupe and Richard F. Voss. The course was chaired by Heinz-Otto Peitgen and was part of the SIGGRAPH '87 (Anaheim, California) course pro gram. Though the five chapters of this book have emerged from those courses we have tried to make this book a coherent and uniformly styled presentation as much as possible. It is the first book which discusses fractals solely from the point of view of computer graphics. Though fundamental concepts and algo rithms are not introduced and discussed in mathematical rigor we have made a serious attempt to justify and motivate wherever it appeared to be desirable. Ba sic algorithms are typically presented in pseudo-code or a description so close to code that a reader who is familiar with elementary computer graphics should find no problem to get started. Mandelbrot's fractal geometry provides both a description and a mathemat ical model for many of the seemingly complex forms and patterns in nature and the sciences. Fractals have blossomed enormously in the past few years and have helped reconnect pure mathematics research with both natural sciences and computing. Computer graphics has played an essential role both in its de velopment and rapidly growing popularity. Conversely, fractal geometry now plays an important role in the rendering, modelling and animation of natural phenomena and fantastic shapes in computer graphics.

Download or read book Fabulous Fractals written by Ed Seeman and published by Wider Screenings TM. This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ed Seeman’s art is alive with myriad shapes that toy with perspective and the figure / ground relationship. A true 1960s sensibility is evident in Ed’s work.” Ed Seeman was a professional artist, photographer and cartoon cel animator for four decades. In 1960s New York, his oil paintings were represented by “East Hampton Galleries” on 57th Street and one of his works was in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art for three years. Individual paintings have been purchased by the Chrysler Museum in Provincetown, the University of Massachusetts and many private collectors. Five of Seeman’s experimental films are in the US Library of Congress and, most notably, his Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention film won a Cine Gold Eagle at the Venice Biennial. His short Space Oddity won a Silver Phoenix at the Atlanta Film Festival. Seeman’s career as a cartoon cel animator began at Paramount Pictures, animating such legendary characters as Popeye and Casper the Friendly Ghost. In TV animation, Seeman brought to the small screen many of the USA’s most popular characters, including My Little Pony. For this work, he has received many Clio awards, Addys and other TV advertising honors. In the process of using computer technology to paint his hand drawn cel animations, Seeman discovered the tremendous digital potential for experimentation in color and abstract form. Thereafter embracing the Giclee method of printing to canvas, he created artistic works from the digital realm that truly reflected the myriad preoccupations of our times. By perfecting his computer painting ability to produce his animated TV commercials, Seeman found he no longer needed to paint with oil and acrylics to produce art on canvas. Now, with the aid of large digital printers, he produces artwork directly from computer to canvas. Colored, pigmented, ultra-violet resistant inks produce much brighter colors than were ever available using ordinary paints. With these technologically enhanced painting tools, Seeman produces uniquely stunning digital abstract artworks. Anthologized herein is a showcase of Seeman’s digital art: over 200 fractals, with an introduction by the artist. These digital artworks were initially emailed individually as .jpeg files by Seeman to a private network of connoisseurs before being formatted into digital e-Book.

Download or read book Struck by Genius written by Jason Padgett and published by HMH. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From head trauma to scientific wonder—a “deeply absorbing . . . fascinating” true story of acquired savant syndrome (Entertainment Weekly). Twelve years ago, Jason Padgett had never made it past pre-algebra. But a violent mugging forever altered the way his brain worked. It turned an ordinary math-averse student into an extraordinary young man with a unique gift to see the world as no one else does: water pours from the faucet in crystalline patterns, numbers call to mind distinct geometric shapes, and intricate fractal patterns emerge from the movement of tree branches, revealing the intrinsic mathematical designs hidden in the objects around us. As his ability to understand physics skyrocketed, the “accidental genius” developed the astonishing ability to draw the complex geometric shapes he saw everywhere. Overcoming huge setbacks and embracing his new mind, Padgett “gained a vision of the world that is as beautiful as it is challenging.” Along the way he fell in love, found joy in numbers, and spent plenty of time having his head examined (The New York Times Book Review). Illustrated with Jason’s stunning, mathematically precise artwork, his singular story reveals the wondrous potential of the human brain, and “an incredible phenomenon which points toward dormant potential—a little Rain Man perhaps—within us all” (Darold A. Treffert, MD, author of Islands of Genius: The Bountiful Mind of the Autistic, Acquired, and Sudden Savant). “A tale worthy of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! . . . This memoir sends a hopeful message to families touched by brain injury, autism, or neurological damage from strokes.” —Booklist “How extraordinary it is to contemplate the bizarre gifts that might lie within all of us.” —People

Download or read book Math with Bad Drawings written by Ben Orlin and published by Black Dog & Leventhal. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious reeducation in mathematics-full of joy, jokes, and stick figures-that sheds light on the countless practical and wonderful ways that math structures and shapes our world. In Math With Bad Drawings, Ben Orlin reveals to us what math actually is; its myriad uses, its strange symbols, and the wild leaps of logic and faith that define the usually impenetrable work of the mathematician. Truth and knowledge come in multiple forms: colorful drawings, encouraging jokes, and the stories and insights of an empathetic teacher who believes that math should belong to everyone. Orlin shows us how to think like a mathematician by teaching us a brand-new game of tic-tac-toe, how to understand an economic crises by rolling a pair of dice, and the mathematical headache that ensues when attempting to build a spherical Death Star. Every discussion in the book is illustrated with Orlin's trademark "bad drawings," which convey his message and insights with perfect pitch and clarity. With 24 chapters covering topics from the electoral college to human genetics to the reasons not to trust statistics, Math with Bad Drawings is a life-changing book for the math-estranged and math-enamored alike.

Download or read book Vertigo written by Joanna Walsh and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With wry humor and profound sensitivity, Walsh takes what is mundane and transforms it into something otherworldly with sentences that can make your heart stop. A feat of language.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Joanna Walsh's haunting and unforgettable stories enact a literal vertigo—the feeling that if I fall I will fall not toward the earth but into space—by probing the spaces between things. Waiting for news in a children's hospital, pondering her husband's multiple online flirtations or observing the tourists and locals at a third-world archeological site, her narrator approaches the suppressed state of panic coursing beneath things that are normally tamed by our blunted perceptions of ordinary life. Vertigo is an original and breathtaking book.” (Chris Kraus)
