Since its original publication in 1990, Kenneth Falconer'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.

Of course, at that age, I didn't understand what Falconer meant by describing the Cantor set as "uncountable", or what a "topological…

But somehow, have stopped with reading and understanding the algorithms in the text books/blogs and stop there. Recently came across Fractals and love them. Got a Fractal Geometry(Kenneth Falconer, thanks to library.nu) book but i seem to have lost the ability to learn from books(too much interaction addictivity). Anyway, i would be glad if you can teach Fractal Geometry.(sorry,…
