This work offers detailed programming information on how to create fractals - a class of shapes with both beauty and underlying mathematical meaning. Discussions on known fractal curves like the von Koch snowflake, the Gosper curve, the Hilbert curve and the Mandelbrot set are included. There is a detailed description of how to create the Julia set, along with the C programs used to generate the many examples illustrated in the book. A computer disk is available with this book which contains the source code for the programs in MS/PC-DOS format. The programs require an IBM PC or compatible, with an EGA or VGA card, a colour monitor, and a Turbo C, Quick C or Microsoft C compiler.
