MATH 8626 ITERATED FUNCTION SYSTEMS AND FRACTALS (3 credits)
This is a proof-oriented course presenting the foundations of fractal geometry. It introduces students to the beauty, magic, and applications of fractals and iterated function systems, with emphasis on the mathematics behind it all. Topics range from contractions on hyperspaces and their fixed points to fractal dimensions to Julia and Mandelbrot sets. (Cross-listed with MATH 4620).
Prerequisite(s): MATH 8616 with a C or better or permission of instructor.
