Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications 3rd Edition by Kenneth Falconer (PDF)

Description

The seminal text on fractal geometry for students and researchers: extensively revised and updated with new material, notes and references that reflect recent directions.Interest in fractal geometry continues to grow rapidly, both as a subject that is fascinating in its own right and as a concept that is central to many areas of mathematics, science and scientific research. Since its initial publication in 1990 Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications has become a seminal text on the mathematics of fractals. The book introduces and develops the general theory and applications of fractals in a way that is accessible to students and researchers from a wide range of disciplines.Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications is an excellent course book for undergraduate and graduate students studying fractal geometry, with suggestions for material appropriate for a first course indicated. The book also provides an invaluable foundation and reference for researchers who encounter fractals not only in mathematics but also in other areas across physics, engineering and the applied sciences.Provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the mathematical theory and applications of fractalsCarefully explains each topic using illustrative examples and diagramsIncludes the necessary mathematical background material, along with notes and references to enable the reader to pursue individual topicsFeatures a wide range of exercises, enabling readers to consolidate their understandingSupported by a website with solutions to exercises and additional material http://www.wileyeurope.com/fractal Leads onto the more advanced sequel Techniques in Fractal Geometry (also by Kenneth Falconer and available from Wiley)

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “Falconer’s book is excellent in many respects and the reviewer strongly recommends it. May every university library own a copy, or three! And if you’re a student reading this, go check it out today!.” (Mathematical Association of America, 11 June 2014) From the Inside Flap The seminal text on fractal geometry for students and researchers: extensively revised and updated with new material, notes and references that reflect recent directions.Interest in fractal geometry continues to grow rapidly, both as a subject that is fascinating in its own right and as a concept that is central to many areas of mathematics, science and scientific research.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Well-written! Great book for those interested in the topic!

⭐A good book, well structured. I used this for a course and had no problems following the ideas and relating to the concepts. I’m not completely sure what the knowledge is now useful for, that might be a criticism of the book, but overall very pleased. The associated short is also nice for examples, can be found here:

⭐This book or one of its many editions usually features in the bibliography of any book or paper in the area of fractal geometry. I understand that it is also one of the set texts in a number of undergraduate and post graduate courses. There is a support website with answers to the exercises in the book. It requires a relatively high level of mathematical knowledge, so is not aimed at the general public. I think the clarity at some points could be improved. There are a number of typos.

⭐With Windows 10 on both my desktop and surface pro the Kindle app crashes every time I open this book.

⭐Das Buch besteht zu 50% aus Formeln. Direkt nach der Einleitung ist Vollgas angesagt. Also NICHTS für Anfänger. Ich hab mir noch andere Bücher zum Thema Fraktale bestellt, die muss ich erst durcharbeiten, bevor ich mich an dieses wage.Vom Aufbau her natürlich mies: Wer z.B. programmieren lernen will, den knallt man auch nicht direkt Code um die Birne, man sagt “Hallo Welt” und baut langsam auf. Das ist bei diesem Buch NICHT der Fall.

⭐

⭐Great book for students. If you know nothing about the topic this is the book you are looking for, as shows visual examples of really abstract concepts.

⭐I’ve had terrible experiences on Amazon.dr which the book seller didn’t know how important the ISBN is to a book.This time I checked specifically that ISBN matches the book hence the book meet my university’s requirement.It’s delivered fast and the book is new. Recommend!
