The most intelligent and usefull book on fractals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I really enjoyed the author's style. It is not a typical mathematical book. So if you are into strict formal mathematics this is not for you. The author has deep understanding of fractals and he is an expert in Iterated Function Systems (IFS). The shadow theorem is one of the biggest hits on this book. What I particularly like from this book is the illustrations. They let you understand fractals intuitively. It is definitely an ideal book for engineers. Try also his other more advanced book SuperFractals The only part of the book that is not very well developed is chaos, although the "chaotic dance" presented on the book is good starting point
This book is for the serious mathematician, not the layman

This is a truly excellent textbook on the subject of fractals, complete with some runnable programs and comprehensive explanation of the principles of generating fractals. However, the proofs and examples are meaty, and it takes a long time to wade through the detail. But it is worth it.

From the man who gave us fractal data compression this introduction to fractals gives the reader a look at a wide scale of fractals and introduces the basics of similarity and scaling. A must for the beginner's library. Your unique Associates ID is: thefractaltransl.
