Chaos & Fractals
http://www.pha.jhu.edu/~ldb/seminar/

Provides a basic introduction to the study of chaos in mathematics and physics. Discusses nonlinear equations, strange attractors, logistic equations, and fractals. Includes print and online references for further study.

Course Materials from the Geometry Center
http://www.scienceu.com/library/makeindex.cgi?SU_Subject=geo...

The course materials include a Teacher's Guide to Building an Icosahedron as a Class Project, notes and handouts from a course developed at Princeton and the Geometry Center called Geometry and the Imagination, and the CHANCE database, by the CHANCE consortium (Middlebury, Grinnell, Spelman, UCSD, Dartmouth). CHANCE is an introductory course in probability and statistics based upon current chance events as reported in the daily newspapers.

ExploreLearning
http://www.explorelearning.com/

ExploreLearning offers a catalog of modular, interactive simulations in math and science, called "gizmos," which provided animated demonstrations of a wealth of physics and mathematics topics.

Fractal Art FAQ
https://www.fractalus.com/fractal-art-faq/

Extensive FAQ on fractal art and the mathematical theory behind fractals. Many of the FAQs include illustrations and references to websites, articles, and books on fractal images, mathematical physics, and programming.

Fractal Geometry
http://classes.yale.edu/fractals/

Introduction to fractals for students without advanced math skills. Covers Mandelbrot and Julia sets; basic concepts, rules, and functions; and fractals in literature, music, history, economics, architecture, and nature.

Zona Land
http://id.mind.net/~zona/

In Edward Zobel's Zona Land, "you will find educational and entertaining items pertaining to physics, to the mathematical sciences, and to mathematics in general." The site uses Java programming, Ray Tracing and VRML (a virtual reality language) to provide tools and lessons that help students for students grasp major concepts in algebra, geometry, and physics.
