IBM and IBMblr.tumblr.com/tagged/fractals celebrate the life of Benoit B. Mandelbrot, IBM Fellow Emeritus and Fractal Pioneer. In this final interview shot by filmmaker Erol Morris, Mandelbrot shares his love for mathematics and how it led him to his wondrous discovery of fractals. His work lives on today in many innovations in science, design, telecommunications, medicine, renewable energy, film (special effects), gaming (computer graphics) and more.

John, thanks for remembering Mandelbrot, a Polish Jew who spend his life in France. The fractals are more popular than ever. They are a part of the curriculum for Math 123 class, which is the obligatory class in college.
