Penetration of the resulting new paradigms into practically all academic disciplines has confirmed the fundamental assertion of universal formalism common to a wide range of human endeavors. This book contains an extended article by B B Mandelbrot, reviewing his contribution to fractal geometry and outlining some unsolved problems, with illustrations especially of finance and physics. It covers a range of multidisciplinary topics 606 $aFractals$vCongresses 606 $aMathematical physics 615 0$aFractals 615 0$aMathematical physics. 676 $a514/.742 676 $a570.1514742 701 $aMandelbrot$b Benoit B$011010 701 $aNovak$b M.
