Description
This work illustrates the many varied and beautiful pictures that may be produced when the seemingly contradictory ideas of symmetry and chaos are combined. The mathematical ideas behind these pictures are presented in an elementary fashion, and computer programs are provided in appendices. These programs allow the reader to generate on a home computer black-and-white versions of the many patterns shown throughout this book.
