Playing with Chaos: Programming Fractals and Strange Attractors in JavaScript Kindle Edition

This book provides a readable introduction to fractals and has the code to create them. Makes programming fractals nicely accessible.

This is a great book. Keith Peters goes through enough of the theory and history in plain English to understand the context of the code but not to bore the reader. The examples are extremely fun to code and play around with.

Keith Peters is an amazing teacher (funny too!). this book, along with his youtube channel - "coding math" are both great resources to help one get better at Math. very satisfied with purchasing this book.

In this book you can learn how to make several fractal examples, and understand its background.I recommend it as graduate text

great!!!!!!!

This is a highly readable, highly viewable look at the beautiful things that a bit of programming can produce, without needing any special tools. Like many people, I started programming doing graphics with simple code. This would be a *great* way to explore the fun side of programming for someone starting out. The code is very approachable and clean - things that are hard can be skipped and come back to. Also the code is totally ready for experimenting with, it's always amazing what changing a few parameters can bring regardless of how long you've been at it.I would recommend this not only to people starting out though. It really is a great way for a seasoned programmer to get back to the basics of what is so compelling about code. Simple things make amazing things, and these things are inherent in the relationships of amounts. It also reminds us, in these days of so many devices, OSs, libraries, frameworks -- that we can still start from nothing and very quickly have something. Most importantly it reminds us how fun programming can be.Keith is one of those people who can make hard things clear without skipping important details. He not only convinces you that something like diffusion-limited aggregation is interesting, but motivates you to try mucking with it and convince yourself.Can't recommend this enough. It is the best read/manual I've seen on this subject, and the only one I've seen at such an impulse price. Set aside a weekend and treat your busy mind to some candy.
