Description
Book SynopsisIn the words of B. B. Mandelbrot's contribution to this important collection of original papers, fractal geometry is a new geometric language, which is geared towards the study of diverse aspects of diverse objects, either mathematical or natural, that are not smooth, but rough and fragmented to the same degree at all scales.
