Using the determinstic IFS applet, do one of the two following things:

Option 1: Start with any of the pre-programmed scenarios, and Edit (edit menu) the Affine Transformations (choose affine transformations), and change one of the transformations in some way (remember to click return/enter after changing the number). Press play after you change the transformation. You may want to click the continue button a few times to see the next few iterations too.

Compare the before and after picture of the transformation (press play after you change the transformation). Write an explanation telling:

• which scenario you started with
• which transformation or transformations you changed
• how the change in the transformation changed what the resulting fractal image looked like (you may want to use screen captures of the images to help you explain the outcomes.

Your descriptions should be specific enough that I could, if I wanted to, open the program myself and recreate what you did.

Option 2:

Figure out how to make an IFS to create a new (and interesting looking) fractal. By "new" I mean one that is one of the scenarios included in the IFS program. You could recreate one of these or you could make up one of your own. One thing to keep in mind is that I would want to see something that is not basically a Sierpinski triangle (it's really easy to end up recreating the Sierpinski triangle). Take a screen capture of your creation and turn it in.

I am making a dropbox for you to put this homework in (though paper is also acceptable).
