商品描述

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.

Readership: Students, mathematicians, physicists, professionals, and the general public who are interested in the fractal art of statistical geometry.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《分形化!統計幾何的視覺隨筆》將一類新的幾何分形介紹給更廣泛的數學家和科學家觀眾。它描述了一種最近發現的隨機分形填充算法。書中探討了與鋪砌(tessellations)及已知分形(如 Sierpinski)的聯繫。此外,數學發展透過大量色彩繽紛的圖像進行說明,這些圖像將吸引讀者的目光。

該算法聲稱具有普遍性,因為它可以用任何形狀的更小填充區域填充任何空間區域。在無限數量的填充區域的極限下,填充是完整的。本書以圓盤、正方形和三角形等傳統幾何形狀為基礎,對該主題進行描述性發展。它包含了對目前已知的算法的詳細數學處理,以及一章關於算法的軟體實現。

數學家將發現大量有趣的猜想,這些猜想得到了數值計算的支持。物理學家則可以找到一個尋求應用的模型。生成的圖案常常作為抽象藝術相當有趣。讀者也可以根據提供的建議和範例創作這些計算機生成的藝術作品。

讀者對象:對統計幾何的分形藝術感興趣的學生、數學家、物理學家、專業人士及一般公眾。
