Even if you don’t understand the mathematics behind it, you’ve likely seen the complicated fractal images generated by zooming in on the border of the Mandelbrot set. [Scott Williamson] not ...

The year’s biggest computer science stories included a new understanding of large language models, and a breakthrough in being able to compute complex quantum systems. We look back at three of the ...

The term ‘fractal’ itself was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot, who was also born in Poland (in Warsaw ... He later became an associate professor there, and immediately added a lecture course on set theory ...

Many fractals, like the Mandelbrot set above, come from intricate mathematical equations. But some are much simpler and easier to construct. One straightforward but still fascinating fractal is ...
