- The mathrec package</A> includes several X11 clients written by Dr. Ronald
- Joe Record who holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of
- California. Programs in the mathrec package include :
- <UL>
- <LI><B>endo</B> - calculate and display iteratated endomorphisms of the plane
- <LI><B>lyap</B> - calculate and display Lyapunov exponents of the iterated
- logistic map
- <LI><B>stars</B> - calculate and display a star field with controls
- <LI><B>coral</B> - calculate and display a coral growth simulation
- <LI><B>gasket</B> - calculate and display Serpinski gaskets
- <LI><B>hop</B> - calculate and display iterated parametric equations
- <LI><B>julia</B> - calculate and display Julia sets
- <LI><B>mandel</B> - calculate and display Mandelbrot sets (clicking the middle
- mouse button on a point in the Mandelbrot set will generate a window with the
- corresponding Julia set)
- <LI><B>lds</B> - calculate and display Lattice Dynamical Systems (also known
- as coupled map lattices)
- <LI><B>madness</B> - calculate and display various kinds of curves and stuff
- <LI><B>splines</B> - calculate and display spline curves
- <LI><B>spore</B> - calculate and display simulated spore growth
- <LI><B>xtopo</B> - calculate and display simulated topographic maps
- <LI><B>xwator</B> - calculate and display a simulation of fish and shark
- population dynamics over time
- </UL>

- Most of the programs in the mathrec package work best with an 8 bit
- PseudoColor visual (i.e. 256 colors in a colormap). However, they can
- be run with a TrueColor visual (some features will not be present).
- <P>
- Many interesting sample runs are provided as shell scripts in subdirectories
- in /usr/local/mathrec. For instance, sample runs of the lyap program with
- preset parameters are in the directory /usr/local/mathrec/lyap and those
- for the endo program are in /usr/local/mathrec/endo.
