| Sep 23, 2010 at 15:05 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @jc: My library didn't have Complex Dynamics (Bill suggested it in another thread), so I purchased it for myself. It is delightful, from the opening classic paper by Thurston on laminations to the closing 17th chapter whose last figure is a beautiful image of the Löbell 10 polyhedron. | |

| Sep 22, 2010 at 22:27 | comment | added | j.c. | @Bill Thurston: Thank you, it looks like a beautiful book, and I've just placed an order for it! | |
| Sep 22, 2010 at 19:09 | comment | added | Bill Thurston | @jc: "On the combinatorics and dynamics of iterated rational maps" has has now been edited and updated by Dierk Schleicher, and is published in the volume Complex Dynamics: Families and Friends which he edited (associated with thte John Hubbard 60th birthday conference). | |
| Sep 22, 2010 at 18:46 | comment | added | j.c. | Might I also add a request here for Bill Thurston's 1985 preprint "On the combinatorics and dynamics of iterated rational maps", which I've seen cited in quite a few papers but cannot find? | |
| Sep 22, 2010 at 11:22 | comment | added | Bill Thurston | @Andy Putnam, I just mininterpreted your meaning. I don't have any problem (personally) with giving people links to the streaming versions --- I've done it myself. The video quality is of course much better on the DVD; the two forms have different roles. When we made the videos, our purpose was never commercial, but to show people aspects of mathematics they may not have encountered, and to enable them to catch on, enjoy and become interested in things that might have made no sense. My personal stake is that I want interested people to be able to see them. | |
| Sep 22, 2010 at 4:02 | comment | added | Andy Putman | By the way, if you want that link deleted then just let me know and I will do so. | |
| Sep 22, 2010 at 4:01 | comment | added | Andy Putman | What I meant is that I've seen free streaming versions available, though I suppose that their legal status is probably dubious. For example, here's "Not Knot" : youtube.com/watch?v=AGLPbSMxSUM | |
| Sep 22, 2010 at 3:54 | comment | added | Bill Thurston | A quibble with "also available online": The link I gave is online. Sometimes Amazon (amazon.com/Outside-Not-Knot-Geometry-Center/dp/1568814534/…) Hurry! only two in stock! and Barnes&Noble (productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/…) have had ridiculous expected shipping times, which is why I went to the publisher website, but it looks like they may currently work in a reasonable time. | |
| Sep 22, 2010 at 3:41 | comment | added | Andy Putman | Both "Outside In" and "Not Knot" are also available online at various places. For some reason I had convinced myself a while ago that it was no longer for sale [and none of the institutions I've been at have owned copies] -- thanks for pointing out the link! | |

| Sep 22, 2010 at 3:27 | comment | added | Bill Thurston | @Andy Putname: Outside In is available from A.K. Peters, as a DVD, together with Not Knot and the video supplement Making Waves by Silvio Levy. (You can also still order videotape versions). Here is the link: akpeters.com/product.asp?ProdCode=4537 The videotape should be available at many libraries, and probably the supplement. | |
| Sep 22, 2010 at 3:06 | comment | added | Andy Putman | While people are at it, there was a paper that used to be distributed with the video "Outside-In" explaining the math in it (I think that it was coauthored by Thurston and Silvio Levi). Does anyone have a copy of it? | |
