Fractal modelling. Growth and form in biology

Jaap A. Kaandorp9780387566856, 0387566856

In this book, Jaap Kaandorp applies mathematical models and computer simulations rooted in fractals to explore the relationship between growth and form in marine sessile organisms: corals and sponges. The sophistication of the models progresses from simple geometric abstractions to comprehensive models of specific organisms found in nature.
