Oliver Linton has had a life-long interest in computers and played a significant role in the development of the use of personal computers in education. Now retired from teaching, his hobbies include writing articles on many subjects for his website www. jolinton.co.uk.

What are fractals? Why are they such fun? How do you make one? Why is a dripping tap not as random as it seems? What is chaos? Is the Mandelbrot Set really the most complex object in mathematics?

In this beautifully illustrated book, fractal-hunter Oliver Linton takes us on a fascinating journey into the mathematics of fractals and chaos, diving into many kinds of self- similar structures to reveal some of the most recently discovered and intriguing patterns in science and nature.
