Think Not Of What You See, But

When People Ask Me What's My Field? I Say, On One Hand, A Fractalist. Perhaps The Only One, The Only Full-time One.

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.

An Extraordinary Amount Of Arrogance Is Present In Any Claim Of Having Been The First In Inventing Something.

I Didn't Feel Comfortable At First With Pure Mathematics, Or As A Professor Of Pure Mathematics. I Wanted To Do A Little Bit Of Everything And Explore The World.

I Conceived And Developed A New Geometry Of Nature And Implemented Its Use In A Number Of Diverse Fields. It Describes Many Of The Irregular And Fragmented Patterns Around Us, And Leads To Full-fledged Theories, By Identifying A Family Of Shapes I Call Fractals.
