One method for generating a 3D Mandelbrot image is to spin the classic 2D Mandelbrot around a central axis, ... its smooth appearance means there is no interesting fractal detail when you zoom in.

The Mandelbrot set, ... used the Atari800Win-PLus emulator to zoom in on a variety of locations on the fractal curve and recorded the results over a weekend.

The most famous fractal equation is the 2D Mandelbrot set, named after the mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot of Yale University, who coined the name “fractals” for the resulting shapes in 1975.

One mathematician, Benoit Mandelbrot, is responsible for devising perhaps the most popular fractal, the Mandelbrot set. This is really just a list of all the complex numbers (ones of the form a+bi ...

As it happens, these four lines can serve as a perfect metaphor for the infinitely detailed, "self-similar" nature of fractals. In this interactive, zoom deep into a Mandelbrot set, the most ...

Every time you zoom in further, you find the same curve." [PC World] By delving into fractals while at IBM in the 1950s and spending the better part of six decades on them, Mandelbrot was able to go ...

In 1982, Mandelbrot published The Fractal Geometry of Nature, which popularized the idea the natural world was organized by elegant, mathematical principles that could be predicted.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Benoit Mandelbrot, a pioneer in fractal mathematics and the person who coined the term, has died in Cambridge, Mass., at the age of 85. Aliette Mandelbrot told ...
