Download or read book Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics written by Donald L. Turcotte and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-07-13 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, along with the related concepts of multifractals, self-similar time series, wavelets, and self-organized criticality, are introduced in this book, for a broad range of readers interested in complex natural phenomena. Now in a greatly expanded, second edition, this book relates fractals and chaos to a variety of geological and geophysical applications. All concepts are introduced at the lowest possible level of mathematics consistent with their understanding, so that the reader requires only a background in basic physics and mathematics.
