    In 1982, Mandelbrot published The Fractal Geometry of Nature, which became a classic of chaos theory. [87] In December 1977, the New York Academy of Sciences organized the first symposium on chaos, attended by David Ruelle, Robert May, James A.

    In 1963, Benoit Mandelbrot first used the stable (or -stable) distribution to model the empirical distributions which have the skewness and heavy-tail property. Since α {\displaystyle \alpha } -stable distributions have infinite p {\displaystyle p} -th moments for all p > α {\displaystyle p>\alpha } , the tempered stable processes have been ...

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag. The moment reminds his father of Patrick’s graduation from college, and he takes a picture of his son with his cell phone.

    According to Benoit Mandelbrot, "A fractal is by definition a set for which the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimension." [1] Presented here is a list of fractals, ordered by increasing Hausdorff dimension, to illustrate what it means for a fractal to have a low or a high dimension.
