Clouds Are Not Spheres (2010)
The life and work of a Maverick Mathematician
55 min · United Kingdom · Dir. Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon
Until recently geometry was 'cold', incapable of describing the irregular shape of a cloud, the slope of a mountain or the beauty of the human body. With fractal geometry, Benoit Mandelbrot gave us a language for our natural world. In this captivating documentary, the man himself explains this groundbreaking discovery.
