Benoit B. Mandelbrot (20 November 1924 – 14 October 2010) was a Polish-born French-American mathematician and polymath with broad interests in the practical sciences, especially regarding what he labeled as "the art of roughness" of physical phenomena and "the uncontrolled element in life".
Benoit Mandelbrot (born November 20, 1924, Warsaw, Poland—died October 14, 2010, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.) was a Polish-born French American mathematician universally known as the father of fractals.
Oct 14, 2010 · Biography. Benoit Mandelbrot was largely responsible for the present interest in fractal geometry. He showed how fractals can occur in many different places in both mathematics and elsewhere in nature. Mandelbrot was born in Poland in 1924 into a family with a very academic tradition.
Mathematician and research scientist Benoît Mandelbrot changed the way we view and measure the world and sparked a revolution in numerous areas of science, industry and art. Mandelbrot coined the term “fractal” to refer to a new class of mathematical shapes with uneven contours that could mimic the irregular shapes often found in nature.
Nov 17, 2010 · Mandelbrot, a mathematician world-famous for his work on fractal geometry, died on 14 October at the age of 85. His financial prescience was a natural outgrowth of his original...
Nov 12, 2010 · Fractal geometry was created by Benoît B. Mandelbrot nearly 40 years ago, and with the 1982 publication of his seminal book, “The Fractal Geometry of Nature,” its application took off, opening our eyes to patterns in nature on all scales and across diverse disciplines.
Benoit Mandelbrot appeared at the first TED in 1984, and returned in 2010 to give an overview of the study of fractals and the paradigm-flipping insights they've brought to many fields. He died in October 2010 at age 85.
