A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The aim of this book is both to stimulate interest in fractal geometry and to be useful as a first text to those who use fractal geometry in their work. It contains many suggestions for experiments, and tends to rely on graphic examples, rather than swamping the reader with equations and symbols.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fractal geometry is revolutionizing the descriptive mathematics of applied materials systems. Rather than presenting a mathematical treatise, Brian Kaye demonstrates the power of fractal geometry in describing materials ranging from Swiss cheese to pyrolytic graphite. Written from a practical point of view, the author assiduously avoids the use of equations while introducing the reader to numerous interesting and challenging problems in subject areas ranging from geography to fine particle science. The second edition of this successful book provides up–to–date literature coverage of the use of fractal geometry in all areas of science.

From reviews of the first edition:

′...no stone is left unturned in the quest for applications of fractal geometry to fine particle problems....This book should provide hours of enjoyable reading to those wishing to become acquainted with the ideas of fractal geometry as applied to practical materials problems.′ MRS Bulletin
