《无处不在的分形(第2版)》主要内容：I acknowledge and thank many people for their help with this book. In particular I thank Alan Sloan, who has unceasingly encouraged me, who wrote the first Collage software, and who so clearly envisioned the application of iterated function systems to image compression and communications that he founded a company named Iterated Systems Incorporated. Edward Vrscay, who taught the first course in deterministic fractal geometry at Georgia Tech, shared his ideas about how the course could be taught, and suggested some subjects for inclusion in this text. Steven Demko, who collaborated with me on the discovery of iterated function systems, made early detailed proposals on how the subject could be presented to students and scientists, and provided comments on several chapters. Andrew Harrington and Jeffrey Geronimo, who discovered with me orthogonal polynomials on Julia sets. My collaborations with them over five years formed for me the foundation on which iterated function systems are built. Watch for more papers from us！ Les Karlovitz, who encouraged and supported my research over the last nine years, obtained the time for me to write this book and provided specific help, advice, and direction. His words can be found in some of the sentences in the text. Gunter Meyer, who has encouraged and supported my research over the last nine years. He has often given me good advice. Robert Kasriel, who taught me some topology over the last two years, corrected and rewrote my proof of Theorem 7.1 in Chapter II and contributed other help and warm encouragement. Nathanial Chafee, who read and corrected Chapter II and early drafts of Chapters III and IV. His apt constructive comments have increased substantially the precision of the writing. John Elton, who taught me some ergodic theory, continues to collaborate on exciting research into iterated function systems, and helped me with many parts of the book. Daniel Bessis and Pierre Moussa, who are filled with the wonder and mystery of science, and taught me to look for mathematical events that are so astonishing that they may be called miracles. Research work with Bessis and Moussa at Saclay during 1978, on the Diophantine Moment Problem and Ising Models, was the seed that grew into this book. Warren Stahle, who provided some of his experimental research results.

Since its original publication in 1990, Kenneth Falconera s Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications has become a seminal text on the mathematics of fractals. It introduces the general mathematical theory and applications of fractals in a way that is accessible to students from a wide range of disciplines. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated. It features much new material, many additional exercises, notes and references, and an extended bibliography that reflects the development of the subject since the first edition. aeo Provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the mathematical theory and applications of fractals. aeo Each topic is carefully explained and illustrated by examples and figures. aeo Includes all necessary mathematical background material. aeo Includes notes and references to enable the reader to pursue individual topics. aeo Features a wide selection of exercises, enabling the reader to develop their understanding of the theory. aeo Supported by a Web site featuring solutions to exercises, and additional material for students and lecturers. Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students studying courses in fractal geometry. The book also provides an excellent source of reference for researchers who encounter fractals in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the applied sciences.
