This thread is a little late isn't it? RIP anyway.I've never understood the popular appeal of Mandelbrot as compared to other mathematicians, but the man was a great mind and deserved all the respect he got. In remembrance, here's his famous set:  ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |
