This is a collection of articles, many written by people who worked
with Mandelbrot, memorializing the remarkable breadth and depth of
his work in science and the arts. Contributors include
mathematicians, physicists, biologists, economists, and engineers,
as expected; and also artists, musicians, teachers, an historian,
an architect, a filmmaker, and a comic. Some articles are quite
technical, others entirely descriptive. All include stories about
Benoit.Also included are chapters on fractals and music by Charles
Wuorinen and by Harlan Brothers, on fractals and finance by Richard
Hudson and by Christian Walter, on fractal invisibility cloaks by
Nathan Cohen, and a personal reminiscence by Aliette
Mandelbrot.While he is known most widely for his work in
mathematics and in finance, Benoit influenced almost every field of
modern intellectual activity. No other book captures the breadth of
all of Benoit's accomplishments.
