图书简介
The time is right, following Benoît Mandelbrot’s death in 2010, to publish this landmark book about the life and work of this maverick math genius. This compact book celebrates the life and achievements of Benoît Mandelbrot with the ideas of fractals presented in a way that can be understood by the interested lay-person. Mathematics is largely avoided. Instead, Mandelbrot’s ideas and insights are described using a combination of intuition and pictures. The early part of the book is largely biographical, but it portrays well how Mandelbrot’s life and ideas developed and led to the fractal notions that are surveyed in the latter parts of the book. Key Features: oFractal Geometry is the geometry of nature so the book is illustrated with beautiful images from the natural world: mountains, rivers, trees, lightning, dogs, people and computer generated simulations of natural forms. And of course stunning imagery of the glorious, infinite and mysterious Mandelbrot set oThe book features interviews with mathematicians (including Sir Arthur C Clarke and Ivar Giaver) talking about Fractal Geometry and their memories and impressions of Mandelbrot oThis is the first time that this unique material has been made available in print
