Frame, Michael, and Benoit B. Mandelbrot, eds. Fractals, Graphics, and Mathematical Education. Washington, D.G. Mathematical Association of America, 2002. An excellent description of how teachers at different levels of mathematical education are incorporating fiactal theory into their mathematics curriculum. Mandelbrot, Benoit B.

The first detailed book to describe the practice and theory of stereology was assembled by two Americans, DeHoff and Rhines (1968) both these men were famous practitioners in their day. There has been a steady stream of books since then a fine, concise and very clear overview is that by Exner (1996). In the last few years, a specialised form of microstructural analysis, entirely dependent on computerised image analysis, has emerged - fractal analysis, a form of measurement of roughness in two or three dimensions. Most of the voluminous literature of fractals, initiated by a mathematician, Benoit Mandelbrot at IBM, is irrelevant to materials science, but there is a sub-parepisteme of fractal analysis which relates the fractal dimension to fracture toughness one example of this has been analysed, together with an explanation of the meaning of fractal dimension , by Cahn (1989). 

The properties characteristic to fractal objects were mentioned first by Leonardo da Vinci, but the term fractal dimension appeared in 1919 in a publication by Felix Hausdorff [197], a more poetic description of fractals was given by Lewis Richardson in 1922 [198] (cited by [199]), but the systematic study was performed by Benoit B. Mandelbrot [196], Mandelbrot transformed pathological monsters by Hausdorff into the scientific instrument, which is widely used in materials science and engineering [200-202]. Geometrical self-similarity means, for example, that it is not possible to discriminate between two photographs of the same object taken with two very different scales.

Mandalbrot sat A fractal that produces complex self-similar patterns. In mathematical terms, it is the set of values of cthat make the seriesz +l = z ) + cconverge, where c and z are complex numbers and z begins at the origin (0,0). It was discovered by and named after the Polish-born French mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot (1924- ). 

The work of Julia was reviewed and popularized by Benoit Mandelbrot, and his paper entitled 7/ow long is the coast of Britain becomes the starting point of the whole new Universe of fractals [3]. Fractals are in close relation to the fragments, which should also mean irregular. With the... 

The principal concept of fractality and its relevance for real phenomena were elaborated by Benoit Mandelbrot. He impressively showed that fractality does not only apply to some strange pathological curves in mathematical analysis, but is a general tool to describe irregularities in shapes and processes or to handle any fragmented phenomenon. In his seminal book Fractals, form, chance and dimension from 1977, he exemplarily studied fractality in turbulent flow, as well as showed the relevance of fractal stmctures for the spatial distribution of holes in Swiss cheese and even for phenomena in economics and linguistics. 

Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010). .. was a Polish-French mathematician who dealt with several math-related problems, e.g. in information theory, economics, and fluid dynamics. Mandelbrot won great renown through his publications on fractal objects, which inspired researchers of very different scientific fields. Soon after his seminal book on fractal structures in nature, science, and daily life, the idea of fractal dimension was adopted by colloid science to describe aggregation and aggregate morphology.
