A section of the coast line is randomly given an angle (two lines), resulting in a smooth coastline gradually getting rougher and more fractal each click. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80455 Iterated Function Systems is a Java applet that allows the user to work with IFS in either a completely graphical setting, or by explicitly entering the parameters that define the IFS. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=378238 This site provides a rich environment to visualize and explore a variety of mathematical objects and includes Java applets, Quicktime movies and pdf descriptive documents of the mathematics involved in the objects displayed. It will reward considerable exploration but is not for the mathematically faint of heart. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=76467 This applet presents the graphical and numerical solutions for a first order, linear, nonhomogeneous discrete dynamical system (DDS) of the form: http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=76553 This applet presents the graphical and numerical solutions for a first order, linear system of discrete dynamical systems. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=77091 This site makes possible interactive exploration of the mathematics involved in some aspects of African and Native American culture. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74304 chaos game, using linear transformations used to visualize molecular data as wireframe, space-filled, and ball and stick representations
