Description and Table of Contents

Description

Fractal geometry is revolutionizing the descriptive mathematics of applied materials systems. Rather than presenting a mathematical treatise, Brian Kaye demonstrates the descriptive power of fractal geometry in describing materials ranging from Swiss cheese to pyrolytic graphite. This second edition provides up-to-date literature coverage of the use of fractal geometry in all areas of science.
