Benoit B. Mandelbrot (20 November 1924 – 14 October 2010) was a Polish-born, French and American mathematician with broad interests in practical sciences, especially regarding what he labeled as "the art of roughness" of physical phenomena and "the uncontrolled element in life."
He referred to himself as a "fractalist".
He is recognized for his contribution to the field of fractal geometry, which included coining the word "fractal'", as well as developing a theory of "roughness and self-similarity" in nature.
