We'll also look at the fractal lecture notes in the directory http://www.math.utah.edu/~korevaar/fractals. The Maple 13 file we'll use to make fractals is also in that directory. Your first computer projectis to recreate on the fractals shown in the lecture notes or in the "art gallery", and then to create a new original fractal of your own design.
