Fractals: An Animated Discussion Video (DVD)

Edward Lorenz and Benot Mandelbrot have a genius that is combined with computer animation that is dazzling in order to present you with an utterly captivating discussion regarding fractals and the concepts that are fundamental to fractal geometry, chaos and self – similarity. At one point, you will even get to see Mandelbrot use an ordinary head of a broccoli in order to show you how complex fractals can actually be. Three dimensional animations are also narrated by Mandelbrot as he tells you how fractals can serve as a great model for natural forms that are irregular. This can be things like coastlines or any other irregular natural form. He also discusses how fractals can relieve scientists from having to discuss and describe nature using simple forms that re geometric. For example, mountains are not represented by cones and clouds are not represented by spheres. In this video, you will have the realm of fractals revealed to you from the Mandelbrot set that is deep to the attractor of Lorenz. This video is 63 minutes in length.
