Benoit Mandelbrot: Fractals and the art of roughness
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Jul 6, 2010
http://www.ted.com At TED2010, mathematics legend Benoit Mandelbrot develops a theme he first discussed at TED in 1984 -- the extreme complexity of roughness, and the way that fractal math can find order within patterns that seem unknowably complicated.

@euripideesshreds You have nothing to prove? You have everything to prove because the burden is on you to validate your outlandish claims. Unfortunately for you, you can't prove a damn thing!

@radicalgarbage02 Embry Riddle have included it in their Math 142 Trig class.

wow three months before his death.
I'm glad he helped to share his amazing discoveries right up until his death.
So RIP Mr.Mandelbrot, I wouldn't be where i am today with out your compassion and dedication to new fields of mathematics and physics.

Go Mandelbrot!

nice videos on your channel

Is it just a coincidence that Georg Cantor believed the revelations bestowed upon him where messages from from God? I believe not. In any case, Dr. Mandelbrot should be worshiped as a saint for his profound discoveries (and be award the Fields Medal).
