Bibliography

There is no textbook that covers both the symbolic and the analytic aspects of fractals and dynamical systems. I will provide detailed materials and class-notes. The two primary textbooks will be Devaney's An Introduction to Chaotic Dynamical Systems and Barnsley's Fractals Everywhere, kept on reserve at the library. Barnsley will be the required text; however, both books are slightly more advanced than the level of this course. We will also be using the software packages MAPLE and FRACTINT. For motivation the student may examine An Eye for Fractals, by McGuire.
