In this essential primer, mathematician Michael Framea close collaborator with Benoit Mandelbrot, the founder of fractal geometryand poet Amelia Urry explore the amazing world of fractals as they appear in nature, art, medicine, and technology. Frame and Urry offer new insights into such familiar topics as measuring fractal complexity by dimension and the life and work of Mandelbrot. In addition, they delve into less-known areas: fractals with memory, the Mandelbrot set in four dimensions, fractals in literature, and more. An inviting introduction to an enthralling subject, this comprehensive volume is ideal for learning and teaching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Highly readable but detailed introduction to fractal geometry. . . enthusiastic, varied, and thought-provoking.”\u003cbr\u003e —Gavin M.
