MY REVIEW
1. AUTHORITY:     Jonathan Mendelson is the responsible creator of this web site. He provides a link to his personal
                                web page, but does not list any qualifications or credentials that he has. There are no ways of verifying
                                this individual other the what he has given.

2. ACCURACY:    The information used has been cited with sources. The information appears to be accuarate when compared
                               to other related sites. The site has accurate basic grammar and spelling.

3. OBJECTIVITY: This site has all objectives clearly stated and there are no advertisements through out the given information.
                              However, because of the lack of authority on the information, biases could be established.

4. CURRENCY:    This site is copyrighted 2001 and was las updated Sept. 30, 2000. The copy right company is Mendelson Productions.

5. COVERAGE:     This site is complete and provides specific information on Chaos Theory and fractals.
