This book successfully bridges the gap between how several mathematical fields interact using Cantor Sets as the common theme. While the book is mathematically self-contained, readers should be comfortable with mathematical formalism and have some experience in reading and writing mathematical proofs. Chapter coverage includes: a biography of Cantor; an introduction to the Cantor (Ternary) Set; Self-Similar Sets and Fractal Dimensions; sums of Cantor Sets; the role of Cantor Sets to create pathological functions; and additional topics such as continued fractions, Ana Sets, and p-adic numbers"--Provided by publisher.Cantor setsMeasure theoryMathematical analysisMATHEMATICS / Mathematical AnalysisbisacshCantor sets.Measure theory.Mathematical analysis.MATHEMATICS / Mathematical Analysis.515.8MAT034000bisacshVallin Robert W1649137DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910808180303321The elements of Cantor sets3997713UNINA
