Fractals are the geometry of the natural world. They're about the
broken, wrinkled, wiggly world- the uneven shapes of nature, unlike
the idealised forms of Euclidean geometry. We see fractals
everywhere; indeed, we are fractals ourselves. Fractal geometry is
an extension of classical geometry which can make precise models of
physical structures, from ferns to galaxies. It can describe the
shape of a cloud as precisely as an architect can describe a house.
Introducing Fractals traces the historical development of this
mathematical discipline, explores its descriptive powers in the
natural world, and then looks at the applications and the
implications of the discoveries it has made. As John Archibald
Wheeler, protege of Niels Bohr, friend of Albert Einstein and
mentor of Richard Feynman has said, 'No one will be considered
scientifically literate tomorrow, who is not familiar with
fractals.'
