Fractals and Chaos:

The Mandelbrot Set and Beyond
Front Cover
1 Review
Springer, Jan 9, 2004 - Mathematics - 308 pages
This book provides a history of the Mandelbrot set of quadratic dynamics together with the authors hard-to-find early papers. It has extensive illustrations throughout and is divided into four sections: quadratic dynamics, klein groups, Minkowski measures, and Julia sets. Each section starts with introductory chapters giving historical context and background to the material. Benoit B Mandelbrot is Sterling Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Yale University and IBM Fellow Emeritus (Physics) at the IBM T J Watson Research Center. He was awarded the Wolf Prize for Physics in 1993 and the Japan Prize for Science and Technology in 2003.
