There seems to be very little evidence to suggest he is dead.

If there's a fractal heaven, you might feel comfortable there. Rest in peace, Mr Mandelbrot.

I will always remember meeting him (together with iq and bonzaj) in madrid in 2006. A gentle man. Rest in fractal peace.

His work shall live forever. He inspired a lot of art and science.

Rest in the complex plane.

"People want to see patterns in the world. It is how we evolved. We descended from those primates who were best at spotting the telltale pattern of a predator in the forest, or of food in the savannah. So important is this skill that we apply it everywhere, warranted or not."

His work inspired the way I see the world. RIP.
