Fractals: A Very Short Introduction

A Very Short Introduction

by Kenneth Falconer ...

Series series Very Short Introductions
Many are familiar with the beauty and ubiquity of fractal forms within nature. Unlike the study of smooth forms such as spheres, fractal geometry describes more familiar shapes and patterns, such as the complex contours of coastlines, the outlines of clouds, and the branching of trees. In this Very Short Introduction, Kenneth Falconer looks at the roots of the 'fractal revolution' that occurred in ... Read more

Chaos

A Very Short Introduction

by Leonard Smith ...

Narrated by Michael Page ...

Unabridged

5 hours 6 min

Chaos exists in systems all around us. Even the simplest system of cause and effect can be subject to chaos, denying us accurate predictions of its behavior, and sometimes giving rise to astonishing structures of large-scale order. Our growing understanding of Chaos Theory is having fascinating applications in the real world—from technology to global warming, politics, human behavior, and even ... Read more
