| An accessible introduction to fractals, useful as a text or reference. Part I is concerned with the general theory of fractals and their geometry, covering dimensions and their methods of calculation, plus the local form of fractals and their projections and intersections. Part II contains examples of fractals drawn from a wide variety of areas in mathematics and physics, including self-similar and self-affine sets, graphs of functions, examples from number theory and pure mathematics, dynamical systems, Julia sets, random fractals, and some physical applications. Also contains many diagrams and illustrative examples, includes computer drawings of fractals, and shows how to produce further drawings. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Since its original publication in 1990, Kenneth Falconer’s Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications has become a seminal text on the mathematics of fractals. It introduces the general mathematical theory and applications of fractals in a way that is accessible to students from a wide range of disciplines. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated. It features much new material, many additional exercises, notes and references, and an extended bibliography that reflects the development of the subject since the first edition.
- Provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the mathematical theory and applications of fractals.
- Each topic is carefully explained and illustrated by examples and figures.
- Includes all necessary mathematical background material.
- Includes notes and references to enable the reader to pursue individual topics.
- Features a wide selection of exercises, enabling the reader to develop their understanding of the theory.
- Supported by a Web site featuring solutions to exercises, and additional material for students and lecturers.
Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students studying courses in fractal geometry. The book also provides an excellent source of reference for researchers who encounter fractals in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the applied sciences.

Teach Yourself Body Language (Teach Yourself Social Science)
In this book you will learn a language which everybody knows
already. This is the language of the body. Every time we talk to
someone else the body supplements what we say with dozens of
small gestures, eye movements, changes in posture and facial
expression. The fact that everybody knows this language already
will not... | | Identification of Pathogenic Fungi
Since the first edition of Identification of Pathogenic Fungi, there has been incredible progress in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of fungal diseases: new methods of diagnosis have been introduced, and new antifungal agents have been licensed for use. However, these developments have been offset by the emergence of resistance... | | Medical Illness and Schizophrenia (62106)
The life expectancy of patients with schizophrenia is approximately 20% shorter than that of the general population. Lifestyle choices, effects of medications, poor self-care, barriers to treatmentAall contribute to medical problems that increase the severity of psychopathology, reduce quality of life, and lead to premature death in patients... |
