Get basic knowledge of fractal geometry, its most important concepts and most famous objects. Learn about visualization techniques and how fractals are used in computer graphics.   

• Introduction and comparison of fractal and classic geometry
• Basics of fractal geometry (metric spaces, dynamic systems, fractal dimension)

• Stochastic Fractals
• L-Systems
• Chaos Theory
• Video presentation

ECTS breakdown (estimation, recommendation):

30 hrs. lecture

45 hrs. preparation and examination

-------------------------------------------------------

75 hrs. equals to 3 ECTS each of 25 hrs.

Either an oral examination is taken or a presentation is given at the end of the lecture.  The presentation must deal with fractal geometry and supplements or deepens a topic of the lecture.

Basic mathematical knowledge
