Riassunto

This book is the first thorough treatment of the Assouad dimension in fractal geometry. Aimed at researchers and graduate students, it will have broad appeal among pure mathematicians due to its discussion of the Assouad dimension's many applications to number theory, dynamical systems, harmonic analysis, and probability theory.
