E 'success Thursday 14 October, but I just heard the news today. It 'a dead Grande. His name Benoît B. Mandelbrot, a mathematician and it was. Born in Poland, Warsaw, and then emigrated first to France with his family to escape Nazi persecution, and then in America.
E 'the discoverer of fractal geometry (but his work ranges from physics to economics), of which many have heard about, or maybe you have seen the pictures.
In 2007 I went to Rome at the "Festival of Mathematics" only to follow his presentation. In the end I wanted to create me a gap in the crowd, jumping on stage and shake his hand to send all my respect. I did not, of course ... There was a lot of people and probably the mathematician and 'was brought out from behind nasccosto, as befits a star. :) Anyway
. From the mathematics of chaos, the concept of self-similarity, the Mandelbrot set, this man has left a legacy 'and that' certainly greater than many scientists today can even imagine.
Just to give you a little thought for the day: fractal geometry means its geometry with fractional dimensions. :) Or between what is' in "two dimensions" and what is' in 'three dimensions' there' also, For example, size 2.5.
cauliflower for dinner tomorrow night.
