  November is the month in which the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot (November 20, 1924) was born. He was born in Poland and moved to France at the age of 12. He lived in Princeton for a year and spent many years working at IBM in New York. He coined the term fractal. Fractals can be used as models of many natural phenomena, including the shape of coastlines, the structure of plants and blood vessels, the clustering of galaxies, and stock market prices. Here is a TED Talk by Mandelbrot from 2010.
