Fractals and Chaos Simplified		 Fractals and Chaos Simplified for the Life Sciences
  • by Larry S. Liebovitch, 1998
  • Oxford University Press, New York NY, 10016
  • ISBN 0-19-512024-8
  • This book explains the properties of fractals and chaos and illustrates them with examples from biology and medicine. The aim is to provide a basic understanding to people who are unfamiliar and/or afraid of mathematics. However, enough mathematical detail is provided so that biomedical scientists can learn how to use these new methods in their own research. The material is presented one concept at at time on facing pages, with text on the left page and graphics on the right page. The graphics pages can be copied onto transparencies to use to teach this material.

SAGE: QASS Vol. 165		 Fractal Analysis in the Social Sciences
  • by Clifford T. Brown and Larry S. Liebovitch, 2010
  • SAGE Publications, Thousand Oaks, CA, 91320
  • ISBN: 9781412971652
  • 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.
  • Detailed examples help readers learn and understand the analytical methods presented.
  • Clear and logical explanations of fractals and their analysis enable the instructor to easily teach and the student to easily learn the material.
  • MATLAB programs to analyze data.
