A Julia set with c=-0.390541-0.586788i. The fractal somewhat resembles the better known Mandelbrot set.

Sorting is the rearrangement of numbers (or other orderable objects) in a list into their correct lexographic order. Alphabetization is therefore a form of sorting. Because ...

A hypotrochoid generated by a fixed point on a circle rolling inside a fixed circle. The curves above correspond to values of a=0.1, 0.2, ..., 1.0. Additional attractive ...

A swirl is a generic word to describe a function having arcs which double back around each other. The plots above correspond to the function f(r,theta)=sin(6cosr-ntheta) for ...

A recursive function devised by I. Takeuchi in 1978 (Knuth 1998). For integers x, y, and z, it is defined by (1) This can be described more simply by t(x,y,z)={y if x<=y; {z ...

A plane curve given by the parametric equations x = cost (1) y = sintsin^m(1/2t). (2) The plots above show curves for values of m from 0 to 7. The teardrop curve has area ...

A tetraview is a visualization technique for bivariate complex functions. In the simplest case, the graph of a complex-valued function w=w(z) can be considered as a ...

The 60-faced dual polyhedron of the truncated dodecahedron A_(10) (Holden 1971, p. 55) and Wenninger dual W_(10). Wenninger (1989, p. 46) calls the small triambic icosahedron ...
