Inhaltsangabe

The fractal concept has become an important tool for understanding irregular complex systems in various scientific disciplines. This text discusses fractals in biology, heterogeneous chemistry, polymers and the Earth sciences. Beginning with a general introduction to fractal geometry, it continues with eight chapters on self-organized criticality, rough surfaces and interfaces, random walks, chemical reactions and fractals in chemistry, biology and medicine. A special chapter entitled "Computer Exploration of Fractals, Chaos, and Cooperativity" presents computer demonstrations of fractal models. 14 executable programs are included on a MS-DOS diskette which can be run on any IBM or compatible computer.
