Has he died?I did not see the death news anywhere !

[Mladen Rakic]

Unfortunately yes, he did. It is even in wikipedia now (a good place to read about him, btw : Benoît Mandelbrot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

As a reminder - all of you probably saw some of those even if you did not know it is Mandelbrot's :

Fractals at their beauty

Memorial indicator?

Can it be done?

What would it do?

I will ask my coder friend, but he is just learning.

I have put together a nice tpl from work/ideas I have found on this site and will post it after/if I get rich.

Thanks all.
