Inhaltsangabe:

Fractals play an important role in more and more different fields. The new volume Fractals in Science edited by A. Bunde and S. Havlin discusses various aspects of the fractal concept in biology and medicine, chemistry, polymer and geophysics. A special chapter presents 14 programs of fractal models, included on a Macintosh diskette (system requirements: system 6 or 7, b/w monitor, 1 program needs a 256 color display). There is also a MS-DOS edition available.

Reseña del editor: The fractal concept has become an important tool for understanding irregular complex systems in various scientific disciplines. This book discusses in great detail 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.
