APMA 1930H - Scaling and Self-Similarity

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

The themes of scaling and self-similarity provide the simplest, and yet the most fruitful description of complicated forms in nature such as the branching of trees, the structure of human lungs, rugged natural landscapes, and turbulent fluid flows. This seminar is an investigation of some of these phenomena in a self-contained setting requiring little more mathematical background than high school algebra.
