Chaos Quote by Benoit Mandelbrot

The Mandelbrot set is the most complex mathematical object known to mankind.

— Benoit Mandelbrot

An exquisitely complex shape now known as the Mandlebrot set has been called the most complex object in mathematics.

Chaos has come to be associated with the study of anything complex, but, in fact, the mathematical techniques are directly applicable only to simple…

— Neil Gershenfeld

The simple equations that generate the convoluted Mandelbrot fractal have been called the wittiest remarks ever made.

— John Allen Paulos

If I choose abstraction over reality, it is because I consider it the lesser chaos.

— Robert Breault

It can be argued that the mathematics behind these images [of the orbit diagram for quadratic functions and the Mandelbrot set] is even prettier…
