These works were the results that I created in MAT 200C class focused on mechanisms of pattern formation. Many complex visual patterns can be generated from surprisingly small amounts of code (less than 100 lines), or from simple sets of equations. Some examples include the ubiquitous patterns of the Mandelbrot and Julia set fractals, reaction-diffusion systems, and Conway's Game of Life. I examined a wide variety of these pattern generation techniques. I implemented these techniques in the class, and experimented and generated novel patterns.
