French-American mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot has died of cancer at the age of 85 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Mandelbrot was most famously known for his work in exploring the mathematical shapes ...

Fractal geometry is a field of math born in the 1970s and mainly developed by Benoit Mandelbrot. If you’ve already heard of fractals, you’ve probably seen the picture above. It’s called the Mandelbrot ...

(Phys.org)—A team made up of members from several European countries has published a paper in Physical Review Letters describing a technique they've developed for using fractal geometry to build ...

Fractal geometry introduces a paradigm in which spacetime exhibits scale-dependent structure characterised by non-integer dimensions. In quantum cosmology, such structures arise naturally when ...

A mathematician has developed a new way to uncover simple patterns that might underlie apparently complex systems, such as clouds, cracks in materials or the movement of the stockmarket. The method, ...
