Benoit Mandelbrot und die Fraktale Geometrie der Natur (Geometry of Fractals)
Vita	Konzepte	Forschung	Didaktik	Information

All of Benoit Mandelbrot's scientific interests relate to an interdisciplinary field that he originated, fractal geometry. Thus,Mandelbrot is a leader in computer graphics because one aspect of fractal geometry is its extensive reliance on pictures:some are "forgeries" of reality, while others are purely "abstract."

"Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."(Mandelbrot 1983)
