The Theory Of Probability Is

I Conceived, Developed And Applied In Many Areas A New Geometry Of Nature, Which Finds Order In Chaotic Shapes And Processes. It Grew Without A Name Until 1975, When I Coined A New Word To Denote It, Fractal Geometry, From The Latin Word For Irregular And Broken Up, Fractus. Today You Might Say That, Until Fractal Geometry Became Organized, My Life Had Followed A Fractal Orbit.

Bottomless Wonders Spring From Simple Rules, Which Are Repeated Without End.

A Fractal Is A Mathematical Set Or Concrete Object That Is Irregular Or Fragmented At All Scales...

I Had Very, Very Little Training In Taking An Exam To Determine A Scientist's Life In France.

Everything Is Roughness, Except For The Circles. How Many Circles Are There In Nature? Very, Very Few. The Straight Lines. Very Shapes Are Very, Very Smooth. But Geometry Had Laid Them Aside Because They Were Too Complicated.
