This is a set of articles, many written by means of those that labored with Mandelbrot, memorializing the amazing breadth and intensity of his paintings in technological know-how and the humanities. individuals comprise mathematicians, physicists, biologists, economists, and engineers, as anticipated; and likewise artists, musicians, academics, an historian, an architect, a filmmaker, and a comic book. a few articles are relatively technical, others solely descriptive. All comprise tales approximately Benoit.

Also integrated are chapters on fractals and song through Charles Wuorinen and through Harlan Brothers, on fractals and finance by means of Richard Hudson and by means of Christian Walter, on fractal invisibility cloaks via Nathan Cohen, and a private memory via Aliette Mandelbrot.

While he's recognized most generally for his paintings in arithmetic and in finance, Benoit motivated virtually each box of contemporary highbrow job. No different e-book captures the breadth of all of Benoit's accomplishments.
