Many phenomena in nature, engineering or society whilst obvious at an intermediate distance, in area or time, convey the notable estate of self-similarity: they reproduce themselves as scales swap, topic to so-called scaling legislation. it really is the most important to understand the main points of those legislation, in order that mathematical versions could be thoroughly formulated and analysed, and the phenomena in query should be extra deeply understood. during this 2003 publication, the writer describes and teaches the paintings of getting to know scaling legislation, ranging from dimensional research and actual similarity, that are right here given a latest therapy. He demonstrates the suggestions of intermediate asymptotics and the renormalisation workforce as normal attributes of self-similarity and indicates how and whilst those notions and instruments can be utilized to take on the duty to hand, and once they can't. in accordance with classes taught to undergraduate and graduate scholars, the publication is usually used for self-study through biologists, chemists, astronomers, engineers and geoscientists.
