[Ken Shirriff] is apparently very cool, and when he found out the Computer History Museum had a working IBM 1401 mainframe, he decided to write a program. Not just any program, mind you; one that ...

The advantageous offer appeared to loyalty card holders of the European electronics chain on November 8. After 11 days, the company began contacting those who made purchases, calling it a “clear ...

Behold the “Mandelbulb.” This is a three-dimensional image created using the Mandelbrot set, a mathematical structure whose edges form fractals. The result is something that looks like an alien tree.

These images are of the 'Mandelbrot' sets for polynomials z d + c for various d (for d=2 we have the Mandelbrot set). These images were drawn with the XAOS software. This software will also compute ...

The Mandelbrot set is possibly the most reproduced mathematical entity of all time, on account of how with a bit of image processing, you can make extremely pretty and interesting pictures with it.

Drawn from the irregular shapes and processes found in nature, his research benefited a wide array of fields, from art to physics and finance. Steven Musil is the night news editor at CNET News. He's ...

ONLY rarely does the dry theorising of mathematicians strike a chord with the public. Most people have heard of Einstein and his famous equation, E=mc 2, or of Isaac Newton and his apochryphal falling ...
