Benoit Mandelbrot was a Polish-born, French and American mathematician, noted for developing a “theory of roughness” in nature and the field of fractal geometry, which included coining the word “fractal”. He later discovered the Mandelbrot set of intricate, never-ending fractal shapes, named in his honor.
