Written for mathematicians, engineers, researchers in experimental science, and anyone interested in fractals, this book presents the fundamentals of curve analysis with a new and clear introduction to fractal dimension. It explains the geometrical and analytical properties of trajectories, aggregate contours, geographical coastlines, profiles of rough surfaces, and other curves of finite and fractal length. The approach is through precise definitions from which properties are deduced and applications and computational methods are derived. Written without the traditional heavy symbolism of mathematics texts, this book requires two years of calculus as a prerequisite to understanding. This text also contains material appropriate for graduate coursework in curve analysis and/or fractal dimension.
