By plotting lots of different values of c on the plane, you derive the fractals. This idea of visualisation from Mandelbrot, who would have turned 100 this month, led mathematicians to accept the ...

At the beginning of my third year at university studying mathematics, I spotted an announcement. A visiting professor from Canada would be giving a mini-course of ten lectures on a subject called ...

With this program, you can generate images like this one: The image above is 1.000 x 1.000 pixels and is a render of three hundred iterations of the Mandelbrot formulas ... g++ libbmp.cpp fractal.cpp ...

Julia is a fractal generator program completely written in Java. It started as a college work around 2010. Despite its age, this project is still fully functional. Here is a screenshot of Julia ...

The defining characteristic of a fractal, such as the Mandelbrot set ... The Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho used a fractal generator in her composition Nymphéa for a string quartet; computer ...

Mandelbrot coined “fractal geometry” in 1975 in order to describe the mathematical phenomena he had encountered.

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.

Mandelbrot is known as the father of fractal geometry. His research introduced the world to the concept of fractals, irregular and infinitely repeating mathematical shapes that are found in nature ...

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.

Mandelbrot was born in 1924 in Warsaw, Poland; his parents were Lithuanian Jews, according to a short biography published by Google.Interested in chess and his father's map collection, he was ...
