From Newton to Mandelbrot: A Primer in Theoretical Physics with Fractals for the Macintosh

Overview

This book takes the student on a tour of the most important landmarks of theoretical physics: classical, quantum, and statistical mechanics, relativity, electrodynamics, and, the most modern of all, the physics of fractals. The treatment is confined to the essentials of each area, and short computer programs, numerous problems, and colour illustrations round off this textbook. Suited for a one-year course in theoretical physics it should prove useful for preparing and revising for exams. This edition is corrected and comprises a new appendix on elementary particle physics, answers to all short questions, and a diskette where a selection of executable programs exploring the fractal concept can be found.
