1. benoit mandelbrot

   Benoit Mandelbrot was a Polish-born, French and American mathematician, known for his work on fractal geometry. He is particularly recognized for his discoveries around self-similarity in chaos and the complexities of natural structures. His novel concept of fractals has significantly impacted a wide range of scientific fields, including physics, finance, art, and many more. Mandelbrot was born on November 20, 1924, and passed away on October 14, 2010. His most famous work, "The Fractal Geometry of Nature," challenged the traditional mathematical descriptions of shapes and forms.

1. Benoit Mandelbrot

   Benoit B. Mandelbrot was a Polish-born, French and American mathematician, noted for developing a "theory of roughness" in nature and the field of fractal geometry to help prove it, which included coining the word "fractal". He later created the Mandelbrot set of intricate, never-ending fractal shapes, named in his honor. As a child, his family fled to France in 1936 to escape the growing Nazi persecution of Jews. After World War II ended in 1945, Mandelbrot studied mathematics, graduating from universities in Paris and the U.S., receiving a masters degree in aeronautics from Caltech. He spent most of his career in both the U.S. and France, having dual French and American citizenship. In 1958 he began working for IBM, where he stayed for 35 years and was an IBM Fellow. Because of his access to IBM's computers, Mandelbrot was one of the first to use computer graphics to create and display fractal geometric images, leading to his discovering the Mandelbrot set in 1979. In so doing, he was able to show how visual complexity can be created from simple rules. He said that things typically considered to be "rough", a "mess" or "chaotic", like clouds or shorelines, actually had a "degree of order". His research career included contributions to fields including geology, medicine, cosmology, engineering and the social sciences. Science writer Arthur C. Clarke credits the Mandelbrot set as being "one of the most astonishing discoveries in the entire history of mathematics".
