Fractals: The Definitive Guide
About This Book
Fractals have fascinated mathematicians, scientists, artists, and thinkers for decades, offering a window into the infinite complexity and orderliness of the natural world. With their self-similar patterns, fractals manifest in diverse forms, from the graceful curves of the Mandelbrot set to the branching structures of a fern leaf, from the chaotic beauty of the Julia set to the mesmerizing intricacies of the Sierpinski triangle. In this book, we embark on an exploration of fractals that spans the realms of mathematics, computer science, art, and beyond. Fractals: The Definitive Guide is not just another theoretical discourse on fractals. It is a hands-on, practical journey that empowers you to create, manipulate, and explore fractals using cutting-edge web technologies. Throughout these pages, you'll encounter a wealth of examples, exercises, and projects designed to deepen your understanding and sharpen your skills. From basic programming principles to advanced techniques in WebGL and shaders, this book equips you with the tools and knowledge needed to unleash your creativity and harness the power of fractals in the digital realm. We leverage the versatility of JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and a plethora of web technologies, including CANVAS, WebGL, WebGPU, and shaders (GLSL and WGSL), to bring the world of fractals to life in your web browser. Our exploration covers a vast landscape of fractal phenomena, from classic 2D renderings to immersive 3D visualizations, from generating captivating fractal images to synthesizing intricate fractal sounds and signals. Whether you're intrigued by the artistry of fractal landscapes or fascinated by the mathematical elegance of fractal geometry, there's something here for everyone.
