Synopsis

This volume is the revised second edition of the original book, published in 1988. It includes additional problems and tools emphasizing fractal applications, as well as an all-new answer key to the text exercises. The revision incorporates new chapters on vector recurrent iterated function systems and application of fractals. It also contains an extended chapter on dynamical systems. Input from advisors and potential adopters should make it more suitable for use as a textbook. This book should be of interest to mathematicians and computer scientists, upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students at universities offering courses in chaos and fractals.

About this title

Review

"The material contained in the second edition is quite obviously more extensive in detail and scope...the style of writing is technically excellent, informative, and entertaining... ."
—Robert McCarty

"The problems and examples are well-chosen and interesting...difficult concepts are introduced in a clear fashion with excellent diagrams and graphs."
—Alan E. Wessel, Santa Clara University

This volume is the second edition of the highly successful Fractals Everywhere. The Focus of this text is how fractal geometry can be used to model real objects in the physical world.

Features

A new chapter on recurrent iterated function systems, including vector recurrent iterated function systems.

Problems and tools emphasizing fractal applciations.

An all-new answer key to problems in the text, with solutions and hints.

This edition of Fractals Everywhere is the most up-to-date fractal textbook available today.

Fractals Everywhere may be supplemented by Michael F. Barnsley's Desktop Fractal Design System (version 2.0) with IBM for Macintosh software. The Desktop Fractal Design System 2.0 is a tool for designing Iterated Function Systems codes and fractal images, and makes an excellent supplement to a course on fractal geometry
