Benoit Mandelbrot, the Polish-born, French and American mathematician, known as the "father of fractal geometry," is celebrated in today's Google Doodle, on what would have been his 96th birthday.

I claim that variations in financial prices can be accounted for by a model derived from my work in fractal geometry. Fractals—or their later elaboration, called multifractals—do not purport ...

Fractal geometry is also common in chemistry. The phenomenon is expertly demonstrated by copper crystals, which branch out in all directions like tree limbs.

Fractal geometry investigates complex shapes that exhibit self-similarity across multiple scales, while spectral analysis focuses on the study of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of operators, ...

Exploring fractal basics Fractals are intricate geometric structures created when patterns (or pieced of patterns) are altered and duplicated at ever-diminishing scales. Even simple shapes can quic… ...
