I am interested in starting a new newsgroup to deal strictly with the
new area of fractals. My hopes for such a newsgroup include discussing:
- Mathematical theories underlying fractal geometry.
- The applicability of fractal geometry to physical things.
- Artistic aesthetics of fractal images and music.
- Announcement and exchange of computer programs for fractals.
- Delving into non-"z=z^2+c" fractal formulas.
- Improved algorithms for calculating fractals.
- Diversions such as the "Fractal Engine" projects.
- Methods to colorize fractal images.
- Animation of fractal images on video.
Since it started just a few months ago, a mailing list "frac-l@gitvm1.bitnet"
has become very popular.
The name I would like to suggest for this new newsgroup is "sci.fractals".
It has also been suggested to me that "sci.math.fractals" might be
appropriate. I would like to solicit your vote on the creation of this
new newsgroup.
Please send your votes, suggestions, and favorite fractals, to:
