Abstract:

The book "The Fractal Geometry of Nature" by Mandelbrot is a milestone, marking a major shift in how geometers look at the world. What happened? In accessible terms, I will explain the interplay between fractals and modern mathematics, and illustrate new applications in digital imaging, 3d printing, and secret codes.
