More DescriptionThere is a growing interest on the part of undergraduate and graduate students and investigators in applying fractals and chaos (nonlinear dynamics) to a variety of problems in biology and medicine. This book explains fractals and chaos and illustrates their use with examples from biomedical research. The author presents the material in a unique style that doesn't require a strong background in mathematics. The ideas are presented in a straightforward way without technical jargon. One concept at a time is explained in a set of facing pages, with text on the left page and graphics on the right page. The graphics pages can be copied directly on to transparencies for teaching.
