Fractal geometry. Mathematical foundations and applications.

This paperback edition of Fractal Geometry provides an accessible treatment of the mathematics of fractals and their dimensions. It is aimed at those wanting to use fractals in their own areas of mathematics or science. The first part of the book covers the general theory of fractals and their geometry. Results are stated precisely, but technical measure theoretic ideas are avoided and difficult proofs are sketched. The second part contains a wide variety of examples and applications in mathematics and physics. The book contains numerous diagrams and illustrative examples. Each chapter ends with self-study exercises and suggestions for further reading. The author provides an intuitive as well as a mathematical insight into the subject.
