Increasingly used to represent climatic, biogeochemical, and ecological systems, computer modeling has become an important tool that should be in every environmental professional's toolbox.Environmental Modeling: A Practical Introduction is just what it purports to be, a practical introduction to the various methods, techniques, and skills required for computerized environmental modeling. Exploring the broad arena of environmental modeling, the book demonstrates how to represent an environmental problem in conceptual terms, formalize the conceptual model using mathematical expressions,...

SuperFractals is the long-awaited successor to Fractals Everywhere, in which the power and beauty of Iterated Function Systems were introduced and applied to producing startling and original images that reflect complex structures found for example in nature. This provoked the question of whether there is a deeper connection between topology, geometry, IFS and codes on the one hand and biology, DNA and protein development on the other. Now, 20 years later, Barnsley brings the story up to date by explaining how IFS have developed in order to address this issue. New ideas such as fractal tops...

Das Buch, ursprunglich 1993 in englischer Sprache erschienen, ist das Standardwerk zu einem der wichtigsten Kompressionsverfahren fur Bilddateien, geschrieben von den Erfindern Michael Barnsley und Lyman Hurd. Es spannt den Bogen von den mathematischen Grundlagen, von der Modellierung von "Realweltbildern" bis hin zur Realisierung in einer hoheren Programmiersprache, gewinnt vor dem Hintergrund neuer Multimedia- und Speicheranforderungen hohe Aktualitat. Ubersetzt wurde das Werk sowohl von einem Mathematiker wie einem Informatiker. Das Werk erscheint in der neuen Reihe des Verlages Vieweg:...

This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications FRACTALS IN MULTIMEDIA is a result of a very successful three-day minisymposium on the same title. The event was an integral part of the IMA annual program on Mathemat ics in Multimedia, 2000-2001. We would like to thank Michael F. Barnsley (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Melbourne), Di etmar Saupe (Institut fUr Informatik, UniversiUit Leipzig), and Edward R. Vrscay (Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Waterloo) for their excellent work as organizers of the meeting and for editing the proceedings. We...
