Abstract
One purpose of these three talks is to address the question of how fractal concepts provide a natural framework within which to discuss a range of phenomena occurring in disordered systems. A second purpose is to exemplify the degree to which the language of fractals motivates one to translate physical phenomena into geometric terms, thereby rendering complex problems more tractable.
