Fractal Analysis: Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences, cartea 165
Autor Clifford T. Brown, Larry S. Liebovitchen Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 13 apr 2010
- 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.
- Clear and logical explanations of fractals and their analysis enable the instructor to easily teach and the student to easily learn the material.
This is the only book designed to introduce fractal analysis to a general social science audience.

Notă biografică
Dr. Clifford T. Brown was awarded a B.A. in archaeology cum laude from Yale University. He earned his Master¿s and doctoral degrees from Tulane University. He has published a number of articles on fractal analysis in archaeology and anthropology. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate classes in the Department of Anthropology at Florida Atlantic University. Among the graduate classes is a required seminar entitled ¿Quantitative Reasoning in Anthropology¿ that includes extensive statistical content for social scientists.
