Description

Modeling plant growth with a computer is a rewarding classroom experience. Students are always fascinated to see the results grow before their eyes; they want to know, �How is that done?� and �Can I do that?� With the stochastic approach to modeling nature they can create �families� of artificial plants whose individual members are not identical yet enjoy a kind of statistical similarity, just like individuals in real families.
