But fast forward to the computer age, and the Julia set… well, it gets really special. ... “The Mandelbrot set is, for many, the quintessential fractal,” Trochet wrote.

Benoit Mandelbrot coined the word fractal in 1975 to describe the revolutionary approach to geometrical mathematics that he pioneered. Fractal visionary dies: Benoit Mandelbrot, 1924-2010 - World ...

These images are of the 'Mandelbrot' sets for polynomials z d + c for various d (for d=2 we have the Mandelbrot set). These images were drawn with the XAOS software.This software will also compute the ...

Mandelbrot devised a mathematical way of expressing irregular shapes and processes, such as clouds and the stock market, that classic geometry couldn't address. His work influenced popular culture.

As Matt Blum of Wired.com’s GeekDad reported eloquently this weekend, Yale mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot passed away on Friday at the age of 85. As evidenced by that story’s headline (“He ...

"It is an approximation of the locus of connectedness for the Julia sets of the family of functions f(z) = z^2 + lambda/(z^2) (rotated by pi/2). This is analogous to the standard Mandelbrot set (which ...

Still not finished, [Michael] also creates an implementation of the long gone F100-L CPU, once again with added Mandelbrot set flair, simultaneously with the RISC-V project.

The Mandelbrot set is possibly the most reproduced mathematical entity of all time, on account of how with a bit of image processing, you can make extremely pretty and interesting pictures with it.

Benoit B. Mandelbrot, ... His work led to a simple mathematic formula called the Mandelbrot set, which described the self-similarity of shapes found in irregular objects in nature and even galaxies. .

In the mid-1980s, like Walkman cassette players and tie-dyed shirts, the buglike silhouette of the Mandelbrot set was everywhere. Students plastered it to dorm room walls around the world.
