    In the paper under review, the author has proposed a way to define contour integrals of continuous functions over self-similar fractal curves in the plane, and has shown that, in certain cases, the defined contour integrals can be evaluated in closed form. By extending Green's theorem in the plane to domains with fractal boundaries, the author shows that a vector calculus on fractal interfaces which are boundaries of regular two dimensional domains can also be developed. The author has discussed possible applications of the theory to a variety of problems. Thes include areas of two-dimensional regions with fractal boundaries, Dirichlet problem and Laplacian dynamics in the presence of fractal boundaries.
