Make coding fun! Exploring chaos and fractals in the browser

Software engineering is not limited to the enterprise domain. Doing fun maths is both intellectually interesting and beautiful to behold in your browser, and it is not boring enterprise-style code!

We will cover some of the following. We will look at simple fractals like the snowflake fractal or the Sierpiński gasket, and learn to measure their fractal dimensions. We will talk about Mandelbrot and Julia sets and explore them a bit in their eerie beauty. We will look at cellular automata and wonder about rule 30. We will look at a bifurcation and simulate it.

Pocket calculators are optional!
