Chapter Unit 3 in Fractals for the Classroom: Strategic Activities Volume One, 1991, pp 69-108 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Fractals are highly detailed, complex geometric shapes. One measure of their complexity is fractal dimension. By forming linear, semilog, and double log plots of data obtained by counting shaded boxes in a grid, fractal dimension is shown to follow a power law. Self-similarity dimension is also introduced as another method for computing fractal dimension when the object possesses self-similarity.
