Fractal Geometry is a recent edition to the collection of mathematical tools for describing nature, and is the first to focus on roughness. Fractal geometry also appears in art, music and literature, most often without being consciously included by the artist. Consequently, through this we may uncover connections between the arts and sciences, uncommon for students to see in maths and science classes. This book will appeal to teachers who have wanted to include fractals in their mathematics and science classes, to scientists familiar with fractal geometry who want to teach a course on fractals, and to anyone who thinks general scientific literacy is an issue important enough to warrant new approaches.

Book Description

Fractal Geometry is a new mathematical tool for describing nature. Through this we may uncover connections between the arts and sciences, uncommonly seen in maths and science classes. This book will appeal to anyone wanting to teach a course on fractals, or who is interested in general scientific literacy.

Benoit Mandelbrot best known as the author of "Fractal Geometry of Nature," is a Sterling Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Yale University and IBM Fellow Emeritus (Physics) at the T. J. Watson Research Center. Among his many awards are the 1993 Wolf Prize for Physics, The "Barnard, Franklin, Steinmetz and Richardson" Medals and the Caltech Distinguished Service award..

Michael Frame trained as a topologist at Tulane University. He became interested in fractal geometry in response to a quesiton from a student. He has taught at several schools, most recently Union College before moving to Yale University. With physicist David Peak, he is the author of "Chaos Under Control: The Art and Science of Complexity," a text for humanities students.
