Using matrices to make fractals We start with a triangle ABC, with coordinates 𝐴(0,0) , 𝐵(1,0) , 𝐶( 0,1) as shown above. We can this triangle F_0 and we then write this as the following matrix: We then have the following algorithm to generate the next triangle F_1. In effect this means that the triangle...

Complex Numbers as Matrices... Continue Reading →
