Opis

Applications of Fractals and Chaos presents new developments in this rapidlydeveloping subject area. The presentation is more than merely theoretical, it specifically presents particular applications in a wide range of applications areas. Under the oceans, we consider the ways in which sponges and corals grow; we look, too, at the stability of ships on their surfaces. Land itself is modelled and applications to art, medicineand camouflage are presented. Readers should find general interest in the range of areas considered and should also be able to discover methods of value for their own specific areas of interest from studying the structure of related activities.

O autorze

How do sponges grow? What are the rules for patterns in nature? Applications of Fractals and Chaos will provide an insight into the fascinating range of applications in this fast developing field. Readers should gain an understanding of the methods presented in this book for solving problems in their own disciplines.
