He wanted to delve deeper into the world of FPGAs, so [Mike] figured the best way to do so would be to use one to program a Mandelbrot fractal engine. He started out with a goal of creating a 640 ...

The image of the Mandelbrot set is one of the most recognizable representations of a fractal. But what's behind the entrancing picture? In this interactive, learn a bit about how we generated our ...

Is this the end of the story? In the mid 20th century, Benoit Mandelbrot brought the concept of fractals into the mainstream. Mandelbrot didn't invent the concept of fractals—mathematicians had ...

Though people had long noticed these special patterns by which the natural world organizes itself, the term fractal was coined about 50 years ago by the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot ...

They replicate very simple processes over and over to create seemingly-complex patterns. The term ‘fractal’ itself was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot, who was also born in Poland (in Warsaw in 1920).

Utilizing their ‘Java Grinder’ application (also pretty awesome, especially the retro console support), a simple Mandelbrot fractal generator was used as a non-trivial workload to produce ...

Both Julia sets and the Mandelbrot sets have a fractal-like structure in the sense that they are infinitey complicated. Furthermore, if one looks closely at the Mandelbrot set one sees tiny replicas ...

Mandelbrot explored this fractal property of infinite complexity in his work, which was then taken up by a digital animator to create extremely life-like surfaces in his films. This clip is from ...

What makes a system chaotic? Fractals; drawing fractals, fractal dimension. Strange attractors. Julia sets. The Mandelbrot set. - And more. Along the way we will look at the historical development of ...

Hailed as the man who reshaped geometry, French-American mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot first coined the word “fractals” to ...
