Book Overview

Based on a course given to talented high-school students at Ohio University in 1988, this book is essentially an advanced undergraduate textbook about the mathematics of fractal geometry. The book provides a significant contribution to material already published about the beautiful mathematical objects drawn by computers using recursive or iterative algorithms. It nicely bridges the gap between traditional books on topology/analysis and more specialized treatises on fractal geometry. There are changes throughout the text in this updated edition, taking into account developments in the subject matter since 1990. Sections have been rewritten and are now clearer and more focused. The book also contains many good illustrations of fractals, including 16 color plates.

A nice book

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I liked this book because it provided me with a new perspective on metric spaces, in using them as a basis learning about fractals. I think it serves as a nice book for an undergraduate to read and get enthused about studying fractals at a higher level.

Good starting point to study fractal geometry.

This book could be used as a bridge between traditional books on topology-analysis and the speciallized treatises on fractal geometry. More a catalog of definitions, methods, and references than a course text, it covers the fundamental topological and measure-theoretic concepts needed to understand the principles of some of the different dimension theories that exist. But warning: the book is far away of being a complete exposition on any of the subjects it includes.Suitable for 3rd-year undergrads. Interesting examples and exercises. Extensive bibliography.Please check my other reviews in my member page (just click on my name above).

A difficult but worthy book!

The programs are in LOGO: don't let the turtles fool you, this is the real stuff by a master teacher. It is hard and the examples are even harder. The problem sets are at times impossible, but in the end Dr. Edgar delivers: understanding! Your unique Associates ID is: thefractaltransl.
