In the words of B. B. Mandelbrot’s contribution to this important collection of original papers, fractal geometry is a 鈥渘ew geometric language, which is geared towards the study of diverse aspects of diverse objects, either mathematical or natural, that are not smooth, but rough and fragmented to the same degree at all scales.鈥 This book will be of interest to all physical and biological scientists studying these phenomena. It is based on a Royal Society discussion meeting held in 1988.

Originally published in 1990.
