 How Long Is the Coast of Britain? Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension

"How Long Is the Coast of Britain? Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension" is a seminal work by the mathematician and statistician Benoit Mandelbrot, published in 1967. In this work, Mandelbrot explores the concept of self-similarity in natural shapes and discusses the implications of measuring irregularities in coastlines using fractal geometry.
