We did do an interesting project for the class members that were able to attend. We grabbed an equation from Paul Bourke's snazzy web site (see below) and worked up a simple version of it in Max/MSP-RTcmix. I have bundled it as a separate zip archive below.

• older class link -- nice graphs of some of the common chaotic attractors, and equations
• older attractor patches -- from an older class, including Luke's strange ones
• a more involved Lorenz attractor
• chaotic attractor book: Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos -- for free! downloadable pdf, written by Julien C. Sprott
• most recent older class -- redundant links, but still some useful stuff
• Paul Borke's web pages -- great source of equations and ideas. Go to "Fractals, Chaos, self similarity" or "Geometry, Surfaces, Curves, Polyhedra" and check 'em out.
