10 Lessons in Fractals, Complex Patterns, and Chaos
REMINDER: 2005 NCTM YEARBOOK CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS
http://www.nctm.org/publications/yearbook.htm
NCTM's 2005 Yearbook Editorial Panel extends an invitation
to submit articles on the topic of "Technology-Supported
Mathematics Learning Environments." Potential authors, who
need not be members of NCTM, should submit a first draft of
the proposed manuscript by March 1, 2003.

MATH FACTS - Lynn Robinson
http://home.indy.rr.com/lrobinson/mathfacts/mathfacts.html
Robinson's site has an interactive math facts flash card
program designed to improve speed in calculation. Math Facts
provides addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
problems, allowing the user to select the range of integers,
positive and negative. Runs best with Internet Explorer
(IE 5 or 6) or with Netscape (Mozilla) version 7 or higher.

LESSONS IN MATHEMATICS AND ART
http://php.indiana.edu/~mathart/viewpoints/lessons/
These modules designed for classroom use were developed for the
VIEWPOINTS mathematics and art workshops given by Marc Frantz,
Indiana University, and Annalisa Crannell, Franklin & Marshall
College. Each lesson is available as a PDF file:
- Introduction to Perspective and Space Coordinates
- Perspective by the Numbers
- Vanishing Points and Looking at Art
- Rectangles in One-Point Perspective
- Anamorphic Art
- Fractal Geometry
- Perspective Super-Problems
VIEWPOINTS
http://php.indiana.edu/~mathart/viewpoints/
VIEWPOINTS is a series of workshops for college and high
school instructors on the connections between Mathematics
and Art, and the power of those connections to add interest
and excitement to the presentation of either subject.

10 LESSONS IN FRACTALS, COMPLEX PATTERNS, AND CHAOS - Jon Lee
http://mathforum.org/te/exchange/hosted/lee/
These lessons are an outgrowth of Jon Lee's involvement with
the Wright-Connection program held at Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, during 1995-1999. The eight week
summer program was designed to infuse the excitement of math
and science into the classroom teaching of middle/high school
math and science teachers. They participated in the real-world
applications of math and science in an Air Force research
laboratory.
The main goal of the project is to explain the basic ideas
underlying what is now known as nonlinear dynamics or chaos
science. The ideas are explained in simple language so that
the students can build up a repertoire of terminologies as
they study further in this subject area.
Lessons:
- Do It by Functions
- World Within a World
- Shagadelic Patterns
- Where Is the Golden Ratio?
- Leaky Pyramid and Rubik's Cube
- How Holey Is the Swiss Cheese?
- Does God Play the Dice?
- The Book of Numbers
- How Does the Population Grow?
- You Now Have Chaos
