About this Item
Description:
468 pp. Illus. Index. References. Spine, corners gently bumped. The founder of fractal geometry describes his ideas and their application to geometry, nature, art and science. Heavy book. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. Seller Inventory # SCI0669
Synopsis:
Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, and lightening does not travel in a straight line. The complexity of nature's shapes differs in kind, not merely degree, from that of the shapes of ordinary geometry, the geometry of fractal shapes.
Now that the field has expanded greatly with many active researchers, Mandelbrot presents the definitive overview of the origins of his ideas and their new applications. The Fractal Geometry of Nature is based on his highly acclaimed earlier work, but has much broader and deeper coverage and more extensive illustrations.
About the Author:
Benoit Mandelbrot is the Abraham Robinson Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Yale University and IBM Fellow Emeritus at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.
