Fractals, Chaos Theory, and Their Application

This program explores the topic of fractals, their relationship to the development of Chaos Theory, and their practical application in the telecommunications industry. Experts discuss how computers have advanced the study of fractals. The use of fractal formulas is illustrated at a modern software firm, where technicians apply mathematical formulas that compress large volumes of information sent through telephone wires. Sophisticated computer graphics shown throughout the program illustrate each point discussed. Produced by the Open University. (25 minutes)
