Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010) was a French-American mathematician best known for his work in fractal geometry. He coined the term "fractal" to describe complex shapes that exhibit self-similarity at different scales, meaning they look similar whether viewed up close or from a distance. Mandelbrot's significant contributions include the visualization of the Mandelbrot set, a famous fractal that illustrates the concept of infinitely repeating patterns and intricate structures arising from simple mathematical equations.
