Fractals, the never-ending geometric-mathematical patterns existing throughout nature, are revealed in the shapes of continents, galaxies, snowflakes, and grains of sand. In this fascinating and seminal volume, renowned pioneering-mathematician Benoit B. Mandelbrot explains his work on fractal geometry, mathematically translating the description of these complex shapes of nature.Until Mandelbrot developed the concept of fractal geometry in the 1960s and 70s, most mathematicians believed these irregular shapes were too fragmented and amorphous to be described mathematically. Mandelbrot's revolutionary concept brought order to a variety of seemingly unsolvable problems in physics, biology, and financial markets. Broad in application, this groundbreaking work will inform not just mathematicians, but anyone that appreciates the natural elegance of patterns made manifest. Featuring illustrations of mathematically defined shapes, Mandelbrot describes how geometric patterns relate to every aspect of the physical world around us.

Il volume rappresenta dunque un punto di partenza essenziale tanto per chi vuole accostarsi alla geometria frattale mosso da un interesse prettamente epistemologico, quanto per chi, avendo già una qualche dimestichezza con strutture matematiche "aberranti e curiose", quali la curva di Peano o l'insieme di Cantor , cerchi per esse un'interpretazione semplice e concreta."» ( )
