4. Technical Presentation

Eoghan Sherry	Title: Symmetric Strange Attractors Abstract: Strange attractors can be thought of as attracting fixed points to seemingly chaotic functions. In this talk I will discuss the creation of a function which has either Dn or Zn symmetric strange attractors and how this can be used to create intriguing images. Also, a simple interface for manipulating such functions will be presented.
