Benoit Mandelbrot, the mathematics professor at Yale University who coined the word "fractal," passed away Oct. 14 at the age of 85. His death recalls the complicated history of his life's work -- the ...

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 ...

For all those who have hitherto believed the world to be made of just single, double or multi-dimensional objects, fractals unravel a whole new prospect, says Robert L Devaney, president of the ...

Benoit Mandelbrot, who died last week at 85, was to math what Carl Sagan was to astrophysics. He wasn’t just a researcher; he popularized scientific thought. And he’s best known for bringing fractal ...

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 ...

The term “mathematical art” usually conjures up images of M.C. Escher’s endless staircases, Möbius-strip ants, and mind-boggling tilings. Or it might remind one of the intimate intertwining of ...

Researchers have found a fractal pattern underlying everyday math. In the process, they’ve discovered a way to calculate partition numbers, a challenge that’s stymied mathematicians for centuries.

Have you ever stared at a cauliflower before preparing it and got lost in its stunningly beautiful pattern? Probably not, if you are in your right mind, but I reassure you it's worth a try. What ...
