In fact, I barely missed being number one in France in both schools. In particular I did very well in mathematical problems.

Fractal geometry is not just a chapter of mathematics, but one that helps Everyman to see the same world differently.

A fractal is a way of seeing infinity.

Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics

Smooth shapes are very rare in the wild but extremely important in the ivory tower and the factory.

Why is geometry often described as cold and dry? One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline or a tree.

Bottomless wonders spring from simple rules, which are repeated without end.

If you have a hammer, use it everywhere you can, but I do not claim that everything is fractal.

Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.

Beautiful, damn hard, increasingly useful. That's fractals.

When the current reality creates conflict, distance is often a solution.

Smile generously at others and you may find that their smiles are returned right back to you.

Teams gather around change.

The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
