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 ...

Oliver Wendell Holmes famously once wrote, "A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions." My mind, and assuredly those of countless others, never did after ...

Fractal geometry investigates complex shapes that exhibit self-similarity across multiple scales, while spectral analysis focuses on the study of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of operators, most ...

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.

Frax, a new iOS app, leverages the computational oomph in your new iPhone to make dizzying detailed mathematical art. Frax, to its credit, leans right into the “ooh, neat colors!” aspect of fractal ...

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, ...

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 ...

The February meeting of the Malta Mathematical Society will feature a video titled "Fractals, the new Geometry" by Professor Kenneth Falconer. How can Mathematics model highly irregular phenomena such ...

When it comes to the study of both human nature and the natural world, one must be willing to reckon with the fact that a certain degree of chaos will be present in whatever facets of this planet they ...
