For mathematicians, not for beginners
not for the beginner According to the book's review is in between the formality of many papers and a picture oriented book. The first two lines of its table of contents are: chapter. 1 Our view of nature page. 7...chapter. 2 Fractals and power law scaling 15...36 The chapter 1 is whatany picture intended book on fractals has. The chapter 2, where the funbegins and basic concepts as "power law", "fractaldimension" are introduced is incomprehensible. Nevertheless it seemsto be an interesting book about applications of fractals. I'm talking about"Part III", page > 80 to 233 (the end). It's curious andinconsistent book at the beginning: it talks to beginners in a way that isincomprehensible for a beginner!. If you are a beginner in fractals as Iam, you need another book!. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Fractal geometry is the formal study of mathematical shapes that display a progression of never-ending, self-similar, meandering detail from large to small scales. It has the descriptive power to capture, explain, and enhance one's appreciation of and control over complex diversity. Natural shapes and rhythms, such as leaves, tree branching, mountain ridges, flood levels of a river, wave patterns, and nerve impulses, display this cascading behaviour. These fractal concepts are found in many fields, from physics to musical composition. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description From reviews of the first edition: "In the world of mathematics, the 1980's might well be described as the "decade of the fractal". Starting with Benoit Mandelbrot's remarkable text The Fractal Geometry of Nature, there has been a deluge of books, articles and television programmes about the beautiful mathematical objects, drawn by computers using recursive or iterative algorithms, which Mandelbrot christened fractals. Gerald Edgar's book is a significant addition to this deluge. Based on a course given to talented high- school students at Ohio University in 1988, it is, in fact, an advanced undergraduate textbook about the mathematics of fractal geometry, treating such topics as metric spaces, measure theory, dimension theory, and even some algebraic topology...the book also contains many good illustrations of fractals (including 16 color plates)." Mathematics Teaching "The book can be recommended to students who seriously want to know about the mathematical foundation of fractals, and to lecturers who want to illustrate a standard course in metric topology by interesting examples." Christoph Bandt, Mathematical Reviews "...not only intended to fit mathematics students who wish to learn fractal geometry from its beginning but also students in computer science who are interested in the subject. Especially, for the last students the author gives the required topics from metric topology and measure theory on an elementary level. The book is written in a very clear style and contains a lot of exercises which should be worked out." H.Haase, Zentralblatt About the second edition: Changes throughout the text, taking into account developments in the subject matter since 1990; Major changes in chapter 6. Since 1990 it has become clear that there are two notions of dimension that play complementary roles, so the emphasis on Hausdorff dimension will be replaced by the two: Hausdorff dimension and packing dimension. 6.1 will remain, but a new section on packing dimension will follow it, then the old sections 6.2--6.4 will be re-written to show both types of dimension; Substantial change in chapter 7: new examples along with recent developments; Sections rewritten to be made clearer and more focused.

some new material->same approach
A nice book
Good starting point to study fractal geometry. Suitable for 3rd-year undergrads.Interesting examples and exercises. Extensive bibliography. Please checkmy other reviews in my member page (just click on my name above).
A difficult but worthy book! |

very complete
One of the best textbooks ever written for graduate students
A must for understanding complexity There's probably nothing wrong with this book besides the fact that it throws it all at you at a high degree of sophistication and in as terse a way as possible, it seems. It's a unique and beautiful achievement but because it is so dense with information and insight, it seems every word counts for ten and you'll want to read several chapters again and again. Also, even though there is a clear unifying theme from chapter to chapter, the book simply ends almost like in the middle of a sentence. After machinegunning out 392 pages of material at research level spanning quite a few scientific fields, there is absolutely no attempt to put it all together. It's up to you to do it and it almost seems like the author is indirectly suggesting you start reading it all over again to "get it"... So, for the second edition, perhaps the author will be bold and add ten pages of wrap up material at the end so that this will read less like an atlas. Apart from that, it's the best! ... Read more |
