Binding: Hardcover

About the author It will appeal to those seeking to understand fractal geometry in particular and mathematics in general. The book is written for a very broad audience and may interest those who have come across fractals or the Mandelbrot set in some context and who want to find out more about what fractals are and about their progenitor. Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon is well-placed as the author of this book, as he has had the honor to work with Beno?t Mandelbrot himself for well over a decade. To quote Yale Senior Mathematics Professor Michael Frame: "Beno?t was very proud of Nigel's three Mandelbrot films. Nigel was an important part of his world ?" Nigel has co-written two popular mathematics books on fractal geometry: Introducing Fractals has so far sold over 16,000 copies and is available in four languages and The Colours of Infinity which was published at the end of 2010 and is based on the author's film of the same name.
