Mathematicians do more than just eat the bagels at the colloguia.

This page is for the use of students in Dr. Waiveris's math classes at CCSU.

M 119, M 152 students--I have attached your first assignment to a note on your class page. I'll hand out printed copies in class on Monday. We'll discuss due dates then.

Also, to all of my students--Get ready for the 2012 Spring IFS Assignment and Competition. More on this in the coming week.

See who won the Fall 2011 IFS Competition on the gallery page. There were a lot of great images. Check them out.

CCSU was one of the host campuses for CAMPY on Campus this spring. The students in my workshop created fractal and geometric images using IFS 2.0. Go to their gallery on the IFS Galleries page to see the great work that they did.

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.
