This primer uses straightforward language to give the reader step-by-step instructions for identifying and analyzing fractal patterns and the social process that create them. By making fractals accessible to the social science students, this book has a significant impact on the understanding of human behavior.
Key Features:
- Detailed examples help readers learn and understand the analytical methods presented.
- Matlab codes for programmes allow users to implement, on their own, some of the techniques described in the text. Visit http:/www.ccs.fau.edu/~liebovitch/larry.html for more details.
