The fractal geometry of nature : updated and augmented / Benoit B. Mandelbrot

by Benoit Mandelbrot

This volume explores fractal geometry as a method for analysing the complex, irregular shapes found in nature. It details the mathematical foundations of the field and provides illustrated examples of its application to physical phenomena.

brief_description
The Fractal Geometry of Nature is a mathematics text. But buried in the deltas and lambdas and integrals, even a layperson can pick out and appreciate Mandelbrot's point: that somewhere in mathematics, there is an explanation for nature
