Uncle Fester from Addams Hall has decided to fill in for a few days.
This page is for the use of students in Dr. Waiveris's math classes at CCSU.

I hope that you had a good week of final exams. Thank you for your hard work this semester and have a great summer.

The winners in the the 2009 Spring IFS Competition have been announced and the prizes awarded.
First Place-- After the Wind by geopat
Second Place-- 3dspiralbox by jhenchcliffe
Third Place-- image7 by walidwam

Check out the winning entries and the rest of the great images in the '09 Spring IFS Gallery. There are close to 60 galleries with more than 425 images. Click on judge mode to get all of the images enlarged, two at a time. Thanks for making this another great show.

IFS 3.0 is now available for download and testing. This upgrade of IFS 2.0 can be used to create animations. You will still need a program like GIF Construction Kit (which I use) to convert the .bmp images to .gif images and animate the images. But it is pretty neat. Check out the IFS animations gallery below to see some examples.

FYI--All of the textbooks that will be used in the courses offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences this semester are listed on the Department's homepage which can be accessed by going to the CCSU homepage. This should help you shop around to find the best price as well as get a head start on a course.

IFS 2.0 is free and available to any person or institution that would like to use it. Any person or institution that downloads a copy is also welcome to make it free and available to any other people or institutions that would like to use it. To download a free copy of IFS 2.0 and get in on the fun yourself go to the downloads page. There is also a gallery of 50 sample images with the transformations below.
