Title The Nature of Code: Simulating Natural Systems with Processing Author(s) Daniel Shiffman Publisher: The Nature of Code (December 13, 2012) Paperback: 520 pages eBook HTML, and PDF (519 pages, 16.74 MB) Language: English ISBN-10/ASIN: 0985930802 ISBN-13: 978-0985930806 Book Description How can we capture the unpredictable evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in software? How can understanding the mathematical principles behind our physical world help us to create digital worlds? This book focuses on a range of programming strategies and techniques behind computer simulations of natural systems, from elementary concepts in mathematics and physics to more advanced algorithms that enable sophisticated visual results. Readers will progress from building a basic physics engine to creating intelligent moving objects and complex systems, setting the foundation for further experiments in generative design. Subjects covered include forces, trigonometry, fractals, cellular
