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.

French-American mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot has died of cancer at the age of 85 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Mandelbrot was most famously known for his work in exploring the mathematical shapes ...

When it comes to the study of both human nature and the natural world, one must be willing to reckon with the fact that a certain degree of chaos will be present in whatever facets of this planet they ...

Fractal geometry is a field of math born in the 1970s and mainly developed by Benoit Mandelbrot. If you’ve already heard of fractals, you’ve probably seen the picture above. It’s called the Mandelbrot ...

LOS ANGELES — What do coastlines, clouds, cauliflower and the stock market have in common? Mathematician Ben oit Mandelbrot may not have conceived the question, but he provided an answer — one that ...

Fractal geometry offers a rigorous framework for describing irregular and self-similar structures that are ubiquitous across nature and technology. This field has profoundly influenced our ...

Fractals are intricate geometric structures created when patterns (or pieced of patterns) are altered and duplicated at ever-diminishing scales. Even simple shapes can quickly grow complicated when ...

In the terminology of the new science of Chaos, amnesia would be the turbulence of memory. The geometry of remembering is Euclidean; that of amnesia is a fractal geometry sieged by infinites. It is a ...

This scale-dependence of resource amount per sampling volume constrains the maximum resource density encountered by different sized foragers and thus total resource intake I and home range size (Fig.

Drawn from the irregular shapes and processes found in nature, his research benefited a wide array of fields, from art to physics and finance. Steven Musil is the night news editor at CNET News. He's ...
