Introducing Fractal Geometry by Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon
As John Archibald Wheeler, protege of Niels Bohr, friend of Albert Einstein and mentor of Richard Feynman said, 'No one will be considered scientifically literate tomorrow, who is not familiar with fractals.' Fractal Geometry is an extension of classical geometry. Using computers, it can make precise models of physical structures - from ferns to galaxies. Introducing Fractal Geometry traces the historical development of this mathematical discipline, explores its descriptive powers in the natural world, and then looks at the applications and the implications of the discoveries it has made.Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon, the original documentary's producer and director, has worked as an independent film and documentary maker since the 1960s. He is the co-author of Introductory Fractals with Will Rood and Ralph Edney, and he is actively researching fractal geometry's pedagogical applications.
