Benoit Mandelbrot Coined ‘Fractal Geometry’ by Finding Natural Patterns in the World Mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot coined the term 'fractal geometry' in 1975. Today's Google doodle ...

French-American mathematician Mandelbrot is known as the "father of fractal geometry," for having defined one of the most important patterns found in nature: fractals.

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 fractal. Each circle branching off to the left is a complete recreation of the larger one to its right Spirals require somewhat less description: they are simply patterns that start from ...

He was the father of fractal geometry – finding underlying patterns in roughness and irregularity – and was a key figure in the broader field of chaos theory. Mandelbrot had enormously wide ...

Benoit Mandelbrot, whose work on fractals aided understanding of the complexity of patterns in nature, has died at the age of 85. BBC Homepage.

Mandelbrot moved on to greener pastures, applying his new mathematical tools to a wide variety of fields. The Fractal Geometry of Nature , a 1982 book on the continual reappearance of fractals in ...

Exploring fractal basics Fractals are intricate geometric structures created when patterns (or pieced of patterns) are altered and duplicated at ever-diminishing scales. Even simple shapes can quic… ...

If fractals are everywhere, Mandelbrot guessed, then perhaps the entire universe is a fractal. Maybe what we saw as the pattern in the arrangement of galaxies was the beginning steps of the ...
