MAT 725 - Fractal Geometry

3 Credit(s) A study of the geometry of fractal sets, self-similarity and fractal dimension. Suggested topics are: Iteration using the computer, graphical analysis, the Julia and Mandelbrot sets, chaos and applications to image compression, to dynamical systems and to computing the limiting perimeter and area enclosed by fractal sets.
Pre-requisite: Acceptance into either the Master of Science in Mathematics, Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics or the Master of Science in Geo-Information Science program or permission of the Mathematics Graduate program coordinator.
