- jnotarstefano 13y agoAnother excellent source on this topic is a book I cited in the code comments called "The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants" by Prusinkiewicz and Lindenmayer, available online here: http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/#abop http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/#abop
- laumars 13y agoI absolutely love Hart's presentation style in that video. It's so refreshing to see maths presented at a decent pace but still be easy to follow. And the quirkiness of the delivery only serves to make those videos more watchable. Thank you for the recommendation. I'll definitely be subscribing to her channel :)
