Fractal Geometry

This could develop in several directions:

(i) Study of Hausdorff dimension and sets of fractional dimension.
(ii) Iteration of complex functions, Julia sets, Fatou sets, Mandelbrot set.
(iii) Applications in Number Theory (continued fracions, Diophantine approximation etc.).

(i) and (iii) are more sutibale at 4MM level, while (ii) would work at 3MM or 4MM level.

Books

K. Falconer, Fractal geometry, mathematical foundations and applications.
