Applications of Fractals and Chaos presents new developmentsin this rapidlydeveloping subject area. The presentation ismore than merely theoretical, it specifically presentsparticular applications in a wide range of applicationsareas. Under the oceans, we consider the ways in whichsponges and corals grow; we look, too, at the stability ofships on their surfaces. Land itself is modelled andapplications to art, medicineand camouflage are presented.Readers should find general interest in the range of areasconsidered and should also be able to discover methods ofvalue for their own specific areas of interest fromstudying the structure of related activities.Applications of Fractals and Chaos presents new developmentsin this rapidlydeveloping subject area.
