Clouds Are Not Spheres (2010)

The life and work of a Maverick Mathematician

Directed by Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon55mDocumentary

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.
