Resumen
In his book Spirals: From Theodorus to Chaos, Philip J. Davis explores the recurrence relation z_(n+1) = az_n+bz_n/|z_n|, where a and b are complex numbers. If you set a=1 and b=i with z_0=1, then you obtain what Davis refers to as the 'discrete' version of the spiral of Theodorus. By varying the values of a and b it is possible to obtain a wide variety of different spiral-like structures Componente Curricular::Educação Superior::Ciências Exatas e da Terra::Matemática
