Sprott's Gateway Kudos

A partial list of some of the kind things said about Sprott's Gateway by others on the WWW:

• University of Wisconsin professor Julien Sprott makes art the easy way by letting his computer do most of the work. His custom fractal software creates a new image automatically each night and makes it available online as the "Fractal of the Day." Sprott, a professor of physics, also writes books on the subject of fractals (a field of mathematics that uses simple rules or equations to produce complicated patterns). And even people who don't know a Julia Set from a Strange Attractor will find the images here pretty darn cool. Along the way, anyone is bound to learn a thing or three about the field thanks to the explanatory text that goes along with the images. Finally, a nice bonus is the freebie software for PCs that lets you create your own swank designs. --  Lycos TOP 5%
 
• A fractal a day keeps the boredom away!!! This page offers a 'fractal of the day', ...  --  Stephen Tang's Favorite Home Pages
 
• Julien's Fractal Gallery is a haven of mind-boggling computer images which demonstrates that he is an aesthetician as well as a physicist. His book, Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos, delights artists and enthralls mathematicians. Don't miss your "chance" to make a random prediction at The Future Project.  --  The Most Exciting People on the Web Show!
 
• - you gotta like this man's style!  --  Lisbeth and Paul's Computer Backwater

• An awesome archive of fractal images produced by various means, plus a Fractal Image of the Day.  --  Brain Games Web Guide
 
• He looks like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, but tuxedo-clad Clint Sprott is giving a demonstration in physics. This popular University of  Wisconsin professor's fast-paced presentations are carefully chosen to be entertaining as well as educational...  --  Magellan Internet Guide
 
• Dr. J.C. (Clint) Sprott is University of Wisconsin's Physics Department's answer to Timothy Leary. With textbooks (including "Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos") to his credit, Clint appears to be the only fractal artist actually making money from his work! Julia sets and Mandlebrot sets are kids' stuff to a guy dealing in chaos demonstrations, cellular automata, coupled logistic map lattices, bifurcation diagrams of logistic equations, 3D quadratic maps and anaglyphs, stochastic web maps, quadratic map basins, iterated function systems, and strange attractor symmetric icons. That's not to be confused with cyclic symmetric attractor anaglyphs... of course.  --  Jack's World
   

• This site has won many awards, and has many fractal images...  -- The Fractory
 
• A comprehensive site dedicated to furthering the knowledge of physics and broadening the minds of many individuals.  --  Education Index - Physics Resources
 
• Want to see something no-one else has ever seen before? This site generates random strange attractors. There is a new one every five seconds or so, and no two are the same. Not as chaotic as it seems.  --  Grand Illusions
 
• With all of the great fractal web sites out there, it would be hard to pick one as being the coolest, but if this one isn't the coolest, it's very close. See the Fractal of the Day as well as samples of practically every interesting kind of fractal, along with links to many more. Good for hours of browsing fun.  --  Dennis C. De Mars Fractal Web Sites
 
• The first link I should suggest is that maintained by Julien C Sprott. I read his book called Strange attractors...it serves as a good introduction to the principles of Chaos. He has a Fractal Gallery where he puts up fractals on a daily basis. You can get info about strange attractors, julia sets quadratic map basins, Iterated function systems, see some chaos demonstrations and there are some fractal icons too if you want !!  --  Ramakrishnan Sethuraman's Fractals Page

• Another pretty impresssive collection of fractals stuff is Sprott's Fractal Gallery (it even has some fractal music...).  --  Jean-Christophe Nave's Fractal Art Page


• Sprott's fractal gallery, lots of cool pics, has fractal music too!  --  The Non-Linear Lab, Links
   

• Julien C. Sprott, University of Wisconsin. Descriptions, safety and presentation hints, data, literature references. This is probably the best and most useful collection of physics demonstrations on the net.  -- Donald Simanek's List of Physics Lecture Demonstrations


• A basic understanding of scientific principles has never been as important as it is in our ever-increasingly technologically-oriented world. This educational program is designed to generate interest in physics among students and individuals of "all ages and backgrounds...The heart of the program is a fast-paced presentation of physics demonstrations carefully chosen to be entertaining as well as educational." These Web pages introduce the project and provide a great introduction for teachers seeking to awaken the nascent physicist in their students. Demonstration software, videotapes, and lecture kits are available for order.  --  Snap! Online
   

• This is the fastest, therefore the most recommended, fractal link.  --  St. F. X. Physics Society


• Tons of fractal images of all types. Categories include Fractal of the Day, Chaos Demonstrations, Strange Attractors, More Strange Attractors, Julia Sets, Quadratic Map Basins, Iterated Function Systems, Strange Attractor Symmetric Icons and Newsgroup Collection.  --  Avtar Graphic Services Fractal Links
   

• Sprott's Fractal Gallery - A great gallery website with many awesome fractals.  --  Silicon Fractals


• This site is much like the NCSA site. There are a lot of images and lessons for fractals. In addition to the fractal information, there are also resources for Chaos Demonstration -- very interesting presentations for the high school classroom.  --   Math Teacher Link
   

• Finally, someone has presented a collection of fractals by Paul Carlson pjcarlsn@ix.netcom.com. He has consistently presented unique and imaginative renderings of mandelbrots as well as working with some less familiar fractal types. His Gallery of Fractals is now available courtesy of J. C. Sprott.  --  The Chaos/Fractal Page


•  Sprott's Fractal Gallery Serves up the Fractal of the Day with a side order of isometric geometry, a dash of higher level algebra, and a Coke to go. The daily image lets you zoom in, see the fractal move, and feel its power. Full mathematical explanations are provided. If you feel that life's too simple, too ordered, try the Chaos Demonstration. If you're fascinated by aerial ocean views, the Quadratic Map Basins will give you plenty to view.  --  Your Personal Net
   

• This page was started by Professor Clint Sprott of the University of Wisconsin as a solution for the problem of students becoming bored with Physics. Prof. Clint has started touring with a show called "The Wonders of Physics." This show is filled with exciting experiments to demonstrate the principles of physics. There are references to video tapes and experimental procedures that Prof. Clint uses in his presentation plus pictures of some of the more interesting experiments.  --  GSSM Student Physics Links

• Iemand die Julien Sprott heet kan bij ons geen kwaad doen, en als hij dan ook nog een mooie site over fractals in elkaar steekt, wordt het gewoon zuivere liefde. Fractals zijn intrigerende figuren, die, hoe diep je er ook op inzoomt, altijd zichzelf herhalen. Of zoiets. De wiskundige achtergrond ontgaat ons enigszins, maar oogstrelend mooi is het allemaal wel.  -- Linke Boel startpage
