About this listen

From the contours of coastlines to the outlines of clouds, and the branching of trees, fractal shapes can be found everywhere in nature. In this Very Short Introduction, Kenneth Falconer explains the basic concepts of fractal geometry, which produced a revolution in our mathematical understanding of patterns in the 20th century, and explores the wide range of applications in science, and in aspects of economics.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book covers a wide range of material and explains concepts in a succinct manner. The narrator does a brilliant job reading the text. However, the nature of the material does not lend itself to an audio book, even taking into account the diagrams in the accompanying PDF…it is just too difficult to take in without the text.

Tricky material for an audio book
