Benoit Mandelbrot: Fractals and the art of roughness
Uploaded on Jul 6, 2010
http://www.ted.com
At TED2010, mathematics legend Benoit Mandelbrot develops a theme he
first discussed at TED in 1984 -- the extreme complexity of roughness,
and the way that fractal math can find order within patterns that seem
unknowably complicated.
Quotes
My fate has been that what I undertook was fully understood only after the fact.
I don't seek power and do not run around.
Nobody will deny that there is at least some roughness everywhere.
An extraordinary amount of arrogance is present in any claim of having been the first in inventing something.
I was in an industrial laboratory because academia found me unsuitable.
Now that I near 80, I realize with wistful pleasure that on many occasions I was 10, 20, 40, even 50 years ahead of my time.
For much of my life there was no place where the things I wanted to investigate were of interest to anyone.
Most were beginning to feel they had learned enough to last for the rest of their lives. They remained mathematicians, but largely went their own way.

Mathematician
Benoit B. Mandelbrot was a Polish-born, French and American mathematician with broad interests in the practical sciences, especially regarding what he labeled as "the art of roughness" of physical phenomena and "the uncontrolled element in life." Wikipedia

Aaron Neville - For The Good Times
Lyrics
Don't look so sad, I know it's over But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Flowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
I'll get along, and you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Flowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
For the good times
For the good times
