Accuracy requirements of fractions of a millimeter for thepositioning of beam-guiding magnets in synchrotons, monitor-ing of speedy sub-seatunnelling with lengths exceeding 25km, the construction of extremely long bridges of suspensionor "e;cast-and push"e;-type, but also geometrical industrialquality control and robot calibration in real time, and eventhe analysis of prestressed cable nets, are few examples ofthechallenging new tasks demanding responses from themodern engineering-geodesist.
Applying fractal geometry to science is bringing about a breakthrough in our understanding of complex systems in nature that show self-similar or self-affine features.
More than a generation of Gennan-speaking students around the world have worked their way to an understanding and appreciation of the power and beauty of modern theoretical physics - with mathematics, the most fundamental of sciences - using Walter Greiner's textbooks as their guide.
