More about the book
The book explores the intersection of visual representation and scientific reasoning, focusing on the impact of digital imagery in fields like fractal geometry and chaos theory. It delves into the work of Benoît Mandelbrot, examining how the material aspects of scientific images shape abstract concepts. Utilizing unpublished materials from Mandelbrot's office, the text reveals new insights into the relationship between the material world and mathematical ideas, enriched by historical contributions from Adrien Douady and Otto Rössler.
