Brainfilling Curves: A Fractal Bestiary

• teddyh 12y ago
  Seems to be nothing more than an ad for a book? Also, these things are usually called “Space-filling curves” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve). EDIT: I missed the “Read Online” link - it is indeed a whole book about space-filling curves with lots of pictures.

    Well, it looks like a nice book and you can read it online or download it (there's a link at the top). The "Brainfilling" title is probably a pun to make the title more interesting.

      And with it's big colorful pictures it would make a great and nerdy cofee table book.

    The book is available online: http://archive.org/stream/BrainfillingCurves-AFractalBestiary/BrainFilling#page/n0/mode/2up http://archive.org/stream/BrainfillingCurves-AFractalBestiar...

      Nice, I forgot to search for alternate sources. It's a very nice gallery (with some maths too) of fractals, I'd be happy to have other sources for more complex and recent knowledge about them.

        It's literally a button there. "Read Online".

          Weird, so eager to read the main content I only saw the 'Buy the Book' button at the bottom. Too used to leanpub layout methink.

  Geeky concepts illustrated using squirrels and nuts, what else does one need?

  Shameless plug: Here's a bunch of interactive "brain-filling curves" - http://benvan.co.uk/lsys http://benvan.co.uk/lsys
