The author integrates discussions of fractal geometry, surface modeling techniques, and applications to real world problems to provide a comprehensive, accessible overview of the field. His work will equip researchers with the basic tools for measurement and interpretation of data, stimulating more work on these problems and, perhaps, leading to an understanding of the reasons that Nature has adopted this geometry to shape much of our world.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Happy with vendor and product,
This review is from: Fractal Surfaces (Hardcover)
The book was in very good condition, as stated by the vendor. It arrived promptly, and the vendor was also very helpful in seeking the companion diskette that comes with the book. This vendor earned my trust.
