Review text

This is an introductory book on fractal geometry. The presentation assumes only knowledge of typical school mathematics: basic algebra, analysis and matrix calculus. The authors start with a number of examples of fractal sets, then introduce the concept of iterated function systems and end with a discussion of Hausdorff dimension. All advanced concepts (metric spaces, Hausdorff metric) are introduced as they are required somewhere in the middle of the book. Some applications are briefly mentioned. The book is well-illustrated. It is a pity that the authors followed a sort of itemised writing style that consists of separate sentences (theses) without giving much attempt to combine them into a smoothly running story.
