Summary, etc	The geometric measure theory of sets of integral and fractional dimension has been developed by pure mathematicians from early in this century. Recently there has been a meteoric increase in the importance of fractal sets in the sciences. Mandelbrot (1975,1977,1982) pioneered their use to model a wide variety of scientific phenomena from the molecular to the astronomical, for example: the Brownian motion of particles, turbulence in fluids, the growth of plants, geographical coastlines and surfaces, the distribution of galaxies in the universe, and even fluctuations of price on the stock exchange. Sets of fractional dimension also occur in diverse branches of pure mathematics such as the theory of numbers and non-linear differential equations. Many further examples are described in the scientific, philosophical and pictorial essays of Mandelbrot. Thus what originated as a concept in pure mathematics has found many applications in the sciences. These in turn are a fruitful source of further problems for the mathematician.
