Mandelbrot

( *** Changed YT video to a better one. *** )

Have you ever been asked "If you study mathematics then you must know a lot about fractals, right?" Wrong. Unfortunately. I have learned that understanding fractals requires -at least- knowledge of Complex Analysis ( M337 ). A student of mathematics must be patient.

Last week's mathematical news was of course the death of Benoit Mandelbrot. The magazine Math Factor published a video-lecture ( 20 min ) of him recorded February, 2010. On that page I also found this video of the Mandelbox.


Enjoy!
