Introducing Fractals: A Graphic Guide (Graphic Guides) - Softcover
Fractal Geometry is the geometry of the natural world - animal, vegetable and mineral. It's about the broken, wrinkled, wiggly world - the uneven shapes of nature, unlike the idealized forms of Euclidean geometry. We see fractals everywhere; indeed we are fractal! Fractal Geometry is an extension of classical geometry. Using computers, it can make precise models of physical structures - from ferns to galaxies. Fractal geometry is a new language. Once you speak it, you can describe the shape of cloud as precisely as an architect can describe a house.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Edney, Ralph (illustrator). Paperback. From Zeno to Mandelbrot: explore this new language with which you can describe the shape of a cloud as precisely as an architect can describe the dimensions of a house. Fractal geometry is the geometry of the natural world. It mirrors the uneven but real shapes of nature, the world as we actually experience it. We see fractals everywhere, in fact, we are fractal! Using computers, fractal geometry can make precise models of physical structures - from ferns to arteries; from brains to galaxies. Fractal geometry is a new language, and this book is the ideal guide. AUTHOR: Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon is a producer of television documentaries. Will Rood studied mathematics at Cambridge University.
