I can still remember when the Mandelbrot set was discovered. Amazing that this infinite complexity can arise from a simple repeated equation.

Three cheers for my undergraduate alma mater, MIT!

I am a mere biologist, and understand none of this stuff! I did well enough in calculus and differential equations to get a hard-won B in MIT physical chemistry (when many were getting Ds and Fs), and to make a certain mathematical determination of molecular weights as part of my Harvard PhD thesis. But I’ve forgotten most of my mathematics because of disuse, and could never tackle fractals!

Perhaps this researcher deserves a Fields Medal. We’ll just have to wait and see!
