Topologically all Cantor sets are the same. Nevertheless, thee are many ways to assign a quantitative characteristic to Cantor sets, and these notions play important role in applications to dynamical systems, number theory, spectral theory, and other areas of mathematics. We will describe some of the characteristics (e.g. fractal dimentions, thickness) of Cantor sets and the ways one can calculate and use them.
